Hope to Dream, Ashley and Storkcraft Partner to Support The Children’s Shelter in San Antonio
SAN ANTONIO, TX – Hope to Dream, in collaboration with Ashley Furniture Industries (Ashley) and Storkcraft, is proud to announce a donation to The Children’s Shelter in San Antonio, Texas, following the facility’s extensive renovation project. The Children’s Shelter, which has undergone comprehensive updates to better serve its young residents, reopened its doors and now has seven children in its care. The renovations have created an enhanced, more welcoming environment for children in crisis, and this furniture donation completed the transformation of living spaces. The timely partnership between Ashley, Hope to Dream and Storkcraft ensures that children entering the shelter will have comfortable beds to sleep in from their very first night.
The Children’s Shelter, which serves children aged 0-10 for up to three-month stays, received furnishings to complete the children’s bedrooms in their newly renovated facility. Hope to Dream and Ashley contributed 16 twin bed sets and nightstands, equally divided between the older boys’ and girls’ rooms. Storkcraft complemented this donation with ten dressers for the toddler and infant rooms.
“Every child deserves a safe and comfortable place to sleep, which is the foundational belief that drives Hope to Dream’s mission,” said Ruthie Bautista, Vice President of Hope to Dream. “Since 2010, we have promoted the importance of sleep through over 190,000 bed donations to children in need. Each bed represents more than just furniture – it represents hope, comfort and the promise of better rest for children facing difficult circumstances. We are honored to support The Children’s Shelter’s mission of providing a nurturing environment for children during challenging times.”
The Children’s Shelter has served as a crucial safe haven for vulnerable children in the San Antonio area for over 120 years, offering resources to support parents and families and foster care services. The reopening of their 32-bed emergency shelter rounds out the organization’s services and fills a critical need in the San Antonio area.
“The generous donation from Hope to Dream, Ashley and Storkcraft is transformative for our shelter and, most importantly, for the children we serve,” said LaRhesa Moon, CEO of The Children’s Shelter. “When children arrive at our facility, often during the most vulnerable moments of their lives, having a comfortable bed provides more than just a place to sleep – it offers a sense of security and dignity. This partnership helps us create a true nurturing environment where our children can begin to heal and thrive. Our newly renovated facility and these bed sets give every child who comes through our doors a proper place to rest, dream and feel safe. We are deeply grateful for partners like Hope to Dream, Ashley and Storkcraft who understand that quality sleep is fundamental to a child’s wellbeing and development.”
This initiative reflects both Hope to Dream’s commitment to ensuring every child has a good night’s sleep, and Ashley and Storkcraft’s dedication to supporting community organizations that protect and nurture children in need.
