Donate a Gift to a Foster Child & Win a Kindle Fire HD

Sleep Train will give a Kindle Fire HD tablet and a pair of Tempur-Pedic slippers to someone who donates a gift to a foster child this holiday season.

Many children enter foster care just before the holidays with only the clothes on their backs.

They aren’t guaranteed to wake up with a gift under the tree.

Whether it’s a new baby doll, a Lego set, art supplies, or even a gift card, these gifts can mean the world to a foster child.

This year, the Cupertino Sleep Train store at 10225 S. De Anza Blvd. will collect donations of new, unwrapped gifts for local foster children of all ages.

As if the warm feeling of helping a foster child in need isn't enough, Sleep Train is offering an extra reason for locals to consider donating this year. With its "Be a Secret Santa Photo Contest," if you snap a photo of yourself dropping off a new, unwrapped gift in one of Sleep Train's stores, upload it to the contest website on their Facebook page and you'll be entered in a drawing to win a brand-new Kindle Fire HD tablet and a pair of cozy Tempur-Pedic slippers!

Gift donations and contest entries will be accepted through Dec. 16.

It's difficult to know what's going on in a kid's mind unless they feel confident enough to open upRead More and talk. And this program helps us adults to learn to listen differently.

I too was at this Challenge Day. It was my 6th. I first volunteered because I watched the programRead More on MTV "If You Really Knew Me" when my son was being severely bullied in middle school and saw the program was offered when he was a freshman in high school. My company strongly supports me volunteering for this and allows me to take the day off work to attend. I am continually humbled by what these teens share and saddened at what some of them have experienced in their short lives. This program is so valuable. I think every school should offer it and every parent should attend. It helps us to realize that we need to think twice before we judge or assume things about others when we know nothing about them. It is the volunteering opportunity that I look forward to participating in every year.
