Let's Build Beds

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, I rise today with more good news. A wonderful organization in my district, Let's Build Beds, serves northwest Ohio and does exactly what its name implies, building beds for children whose families are in need.

The organization's mission states: ``We believe that every child deserves a bed of their own to sleep in at night. We believe that every child is full of infinite potential. We help children by providing a bed and empowering them to assemble it and be successful.''

Partnering with local Rotary chapters, Let's Build Beds brings together various charitable organizations for group projects to make beds, furnish the bedclothes, and deliver and assemble the beds to children in need. Older children often participate in this real-life Lego project.

I have been privileged to help build these beds with community members and learn from impacted families how important this joyous venture is.

This constructive, simple idea can be replicated everywhere. I look forward to future building opportunities with schools, churches, and organizations dedicated to giving a lasting gift to children and families, especially during the upcoming holiday season.
