Valentines Winner

By dianahellismedia • February 18, 2024
Annual Valentine's Day Mattress Winner! We delivered Bailey's brand-new Immunity Queen Size Mattress Set valued at $2,999. She was the lucky winner of our annual Valentine's Day giveaway. "I'm very grateful that they can do this yearly," said Bailey. "It gives people a chance to do something for themselves. Like most parents, I put things on the back-burner if it doesn't involve my kids." Winning the mattress was just what she needed. The past few years have been challenging. "In late 2022, I left a really bad relationship. The majority of my belongings were tossed out or destroyed." Due to a work-related injury, Bailey's been out of work for over a year. After three surgeries, the doctors are unsure if she can return to her position as a medical assistant. "When I saw 16 Cents' Facebook post about the contest, I thought it could be an amazing opportunity to get a new bed," said Bailey. "I needed one but didn't have the funds for it. All our extra money goes straight to the kids." Bailey has been sleeping on an old mattress purchased several years ago and is looking forward to sleeping on the new one. "It was hard to believe we won until 16 Cents messaged me," said Bailey. "I'm looking forward to having a new mattress, let alone a whole new set. It's really special. I feel like this is going to be our year."

Diana Totten is a single mom left devastated by the fire. After many months of no home, 16 Cents 3 Shoes & 5 Socks delivered furniture to her new home in Malden. It's been eight months since the fire swept through the small town. The town is rebuilding with help from many missionaries. So many stories have been shared at our furniture store. Our team is thrilled to be part of a fresh new start for many. Thank you to Spokesman-Review for sharing our team delivering furniture to wildfire families along with donated items from our generous customers to the Malden, Washington Foodbank.


We all have a story, and because of the community's support, we continue to share many. It all started with one person, Jason McSteen. He lost everything due to his additions. When he walked into UGM with only 16 Cents, 3 Shoes & 5 Socks, his life changed forever. He decided to name his store exactly what he had when he made his change. This is an ongoing reminder of where he came from.
