From Air Mattress to Real Bed: A Heartwarming BASTAS Story!

Written By: Home Instead of Lakeland, FL

Home Instead Owner Kari Ann

Today I had the honor of delivering the last gift of Be A Santa to a Senior 2019! With a little over 1000 gifts delivered this one was special and unexpected!

We got a call that a wonderful person had a bed to donate to tag number MW80. Well we already had a bed donated for that tag (didn’t realize the tag actually was put on a tree) so I started the mission to find a home for the bed. After a few phone calls we were set!

My husband, Mario, came with the truck and a tarp and drove to Dundee, FL and picked up the bed, swung through a store on the way back to pick up some sheets and bedding and then off to Lakeland to deliver!

The recipient was beyond grateful for a bed, she has been sleeping on an air mattress. She was even more surprised that Mario and I set up the bed, made the bed with, of course, Home Instead purple bedding! You could truly see the gratitude on her face and in her heart!

What a blessing to be able to do this for her and ALL the seniors in Polk County! I know sooooo many people have helped with the success of this program, Thank You! Oh and the best thing, this ladies house was PURPLE too!!! 💜❤️🎅🎄❤️💜
