Meet Jay. Thanks to the Moving Forward Fund, he was able to buy a washing machine for his new home, something many of us take for granted.

For Jay, it’s more than an appliance. He attends Sea Cadets every week and keeping his uniform clean helps him stay confident, committed and proud to support other young people who are facing challenges growing up.

By taking part in Sleep Easy or sponsoring someone who is, you make stories like this possible.
