Tina was able to get new beds for the kids during their move, but Tina has had the same mattress for several years. It has gone through spills and accidents over time and is no longer in good condition. Their youngest still sometimes sleeps with them, and having a new mattress would provide a clean, safe, and comfortable place to rest for the whole family. It would also help Tina get better sleep, which is important as she continues to care for her children and manage the demands of family life. A new mattress would support both her well-being and her ability to keep showing up for her kids each day.
