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."

Shane Floyd has worked his way up from a delivery team member to store manager at 16 Cents, 3 Shoes & 5 Socks in Airway Heights in less than a year. The quick rise to a leadership role is a testament to Shane’s dedication, perseverance, and incredible work ethic.

“I really like working at 16 Cents because it’s such a small, tight-knit group of people. We’re more like family. I have a similar background to Jason, and I really appreciate what he does for the community,” said Shane Floyd.

Shane is two and a half years sober. After a divorce in 2015, he turned to meth and heroin to ease the pain. For some time, he was homeless. Then, a commercial burglary charge landed him in jail and changed his life. From that point on, he vowed to get sober and turn his life around.

“Jail pushed me in the right direction to get things straightened out,” said Shane.

Shane takes great pride in being a manager, and he is excited to be a part of our new sleep and mattress department in Airway Heights.

“It’s a step in the right direction to keep moving my way up,” said Shane.

Congrats on the promotion, and thanks for all your hard work, Shane. We appreciate you!
