Many of the children looking for a place of comfort see an insurmountable deal of adversity. Securing placement for children in foster care is vital in disrupting poor behaviors or at least a restful night’s sleep.

HOUSTON – A Houston-area nonprofit organization is accepting donations of new bedding for children without a permanent home.
The Sanctuary Foster Care Services has collected pillows, sheets and blankets in hopes of helping foster kids, including those sleeping in CPS offices.
“We just jumped in to help and to make sure that we could support them in any way that we can because we know that everybody is trying to do the best that they can in this situation,” said Executive Director Amanda Boyd.
According to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, the number of children in Harris County who spent at least two nights without a traditional foster care placement increased from 49 in May to 60 in June.
