TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) -One local organization that builds beds for children sleeping on the floor in our community is now facing a need of its own.<\/p>\n
Last year, Sleep In Heavenly Peace<\/a> built 612 beds for children in Leon, Gadsden and Wakulla counties. This year, the organization is on track to exceed that number.<\/p>\n Chapter President John Cousins says the need in our community is massive. So much so, they often can\u2019t keep up with all the applications.<\/p>\n Cousins says they\u2019ve been blessed over the years not to have to pay rent, with people donating spaces and homes.<\/p>\n More Tallahassee news: <\/p>\n Last December, the organization moved into a temporary space. But now, they need to find a new place to bring everything together, and soon.<\/p>\n Otherwise, they may have to pull back on the number of beds they build.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re building 60 beds; I have nowhere to put them right now\u2026If I can\u2019t find a suitable space, we\u2019re going to have to curtail what we\u2019re doing, and I really don\u2019t want to cancel builds; we\u2019re getting to that point because storage is very limited here in Tallahassee.\u201d<\/p>\n Cousins says they\u2019re looking for a space to store everything, including the wood for the beds, sheets, pillows and other supplies.<\/p>\n They\u2019re looking for about 1,200 to 1,500 square feet of space.<\/p>\n If you know of a place that can donate space for Sleep In Heavenly Peace, Cousins says to go to their website<\/a>, put in your information, or reach out to them on Facebook<\/a> and send a message. <\/p>\n To keep up with the latest news as it develops, follow WCTV on Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>, Nextdoor<\/a> <\/a>and X<\/a> (Twitter<\/a>).<\/p>\n Have a news tip or see an error?
