Bunk Beds!

With summer fast approaching we're prepping for having more kids over in our apartment more often. Typically during the school year we have kids come over on most weekends. During the summer months many of them have no where safe to be and so we have some stay with us for a good portion of the summer. With SP coming home in the next couple weeks, we're adding another body to the mix as well.

Beds in our apartment have kind of been a scarce commodity since we moved here... Melissa slept on a pool floaty on the floor for months. :) We finally purchased a bunk bed last year for Melissa and Anika's room and are currently working on adding a couple more good bed spaces. Annie's bed is essentially a padded table and the bed the kids use the most is a bit pathetic. Today we shopped around a bit for a bunk bed for the kids and a mattress for Annie's bed. We'd like to be able to accommodate as many kids as comfortably as we can and a bunk bed definitely help! We even looked at some standing closets to store clothes, towels, blankets and such [closets aren't built in here and our apartment didn't come very furnished].

We don't have much extra money in our budget to spend on bunk beds and mattresses or closets. The bunk beds in the picture will cost about $450 [including mattresses], a mattress for Annie's bed will be around $100, and a closet would be somewhere between $175-$250. Bunks and the mattress are our biggest needs right now and we would love your help in getting them! If you'd like to contribute to helping us buy some furniture you can donate through PayPal or by mail [all the info is to the right]. Just put in a note that you'd like to help with apartment furniture. Any amount is helpful! And if you also can't afford Ukrainian furniture, we'd appreciate your prayers! :)
