GOOD SLEEP, GREAT PEOPLE
Hurricanes Maria, Irma and Irma continue their impact on the lives of Puerto Rico residents and have caused an estimated €1 billion in damage.Many relief organizations are quick to provide supplies such as food, diapers, and shoes, but Tiffany Everett, Senior Director at Good360, stated that mattresses have been very scarce.
This makes sense because when people think about donating goods to disaster relief efforts they first think of securing their essentials. These are usually food, water and clothing but not new bedding. Interview with SleepopolisEverett discussed the urgent need to have mattresses in disaster-stricken areas and how good sleep can be a relief in times of stress..
She explained that a mattress is not necessary to make a house safe, but it can give the families and homes a lot more dignity. We must give everyone a chance.
Tomorrow has donated nearly 1,500 mattresses already, but the process ofPlacingThey are all ongoing.Good360 is working fast to get emergency supplies to Puerto Rico families, but Everett informed me that not all homes are in a position to accommodate a mattress.. She said that although the team had been able place about 100 mattresses so far, it was a slow process. This will likely continue for at most the next year as the island rebuilds.
