Sleep in Heavenly Peace - NB, Moncton

11/05/2026

"I didn't know enough to be scared."
We asked: "Since your first bed delivery, what are the things that make you nervous?"
His answer was honest. One home stopped him cold, and it was hard to see a child living that way. That moment is the reason we keep knocking on doors.

I’ll admit something. Before our biggest delivery day, one of my quiet worries was trucks. We had the beds and the volunteers, but I kept asking myself how we’d actually get 35 beds across town in one day. I was afraid we’d have to tell some families “not today.”

Then RONA stepped up. Big time.

They didn’t just send a truck. They sent their people too. RONA volunteers rolled up their sleeves alongside ours, loading, carrying, and building beds for kids in our community.

What I learned: we don’t have to carry this mission alone. When local businesses show up, families feel it right away, in a bedroom where a child now has a real bed to sleep in.

Thank you, RONA, for showing what it looks like when a local business stands with Canadian families. ❤️

Honestly, I didn’t think we could pull it off.

When we planned 35 beds in one day, part of me was quietly bracing for it to go wrong. Too many moving pieces. Six teams, trailers, trucks, addresses all over town. I was afraid we’d fall behind, that someone would be left waiting at home for a bed that showed up late, or not at all. That fear wasn’t about logistics. It was about a kid getting their hopes up.

What I didn’t expect was to stand in a parking lot that morning and watch 32 people show up. Some I knew. Some I’d never met. All of them ready.

Just over 4 hours later, 35 beds were built into bedrooms across our community.

The lesson for me: I kept thinking this mission depended on getting the plan perfect. It doesn’t. It depends on people showing up. And you did.

To Team 1 and every team that hit the road: thank you. To every family who opened their door to us: thank you for trusting us.

This was our biggest delivery day ever. Let’s make the next one bigger. ❤️

I’ll be honest. For a long time I was afraid to look at our “Families Waiting” number.

Not because I didn’t care. Because I did. Every number on that list is a child going to bed on a floor, a couch, or a shared mattress tonight. And I worried that no matter how hard we worked, the list would just keep growing faster than we could build.

I didn’t feel proud when I looked at it. I felt behind.

Then I opened the dashboard this week.

Yesterday: 43 families waiting. Today: 25.
Yesterday: 81 beds in the queue. Today: 44.

That’s 18 families. 37 kids who now have a bed, sheets, a pillow, and a place that’s theirs.

What I learned is that I was looking at the wrong number. The waitlist isn’t proof we’re failing. It’s proof families trust us enough to ask. And this community keeps answering.

But the need doesn’t stop. In just the last 10 days, 5 new families applied, asking for 11 more beds.

So here’s where you come in. Every hour on a build day, every dollar, every share puts the next child on that list into a real bed.

No kid sleeps on the floor in our town. Let’s keep proving it. ❤️

We used to think people needed a big reason to volunteer. Turns out most people just need someone to ask them. Whatever brought you to this post counts.

So — why would you build a bed? Tell us in the comments, or better yet, come show us in person.

❤️ and wanted that to be true for someone else's kid too.
