The Happy House reached out to Manuela to give her a safe and loving home when, in November 2013, a family crisis led to her being taken into our care.
After five years of continuous use, many of our beds are the worse for wear, plus we have had a big influx of new arrivals, all needing beds.
It will cost £25 to build a wooden bed, and another £15 for a mattress.
Our Happy House joiner has already started making some from wood which has come from a couple of coconut trees we had to fell to make way for the secondary school.
That wood will soon run out and we will have to buy more, which gives us the £25 per frame..
The best of the old beds will be kept for the smaller children, but we would like to raise enough money to give each of the older children, who are now too big for narrow bunks, a single bed of their own.
If you would like to make a birthday donation toward buying a bed please donate via JustGiving http://www.justgiving.com/childrenofwatamu/Donate – mention bed appeal in your message.
