When we showed up to deliver the bunk bed Dan and Dilo built, the family welcomed us with open arms and so much excitement. We carefully unloaded the pieces and got to work assembling it in their home, and you could just feel how much this bed meant to them. It wasn’t just a bed—it was a place where their kids could feel safe and cozy every night. Two of their children were still at school when we arrived, but I could already picture the smiles on their faces when they’d come home and see this surprise waiting for them.

Dan and Dilo had poured so much care into making this bed, and it was more than just wood and screws—it was a symbol of comfort and hope. Seeing the joy in this family’s eyes reminded me of the impact a simple gift can have. It’s amazing how something as basic as a bed can bring so much peace and security. For this family, it’s a reminder that they’re seen, loved, and supported by their community. Moments like this make all the work worth it.
