Day of Dreams provides beds for 52 children

Fifty-two kids got sweet dreams over the weekend – the gift of their very own bed from the Cincinnati Reds, Morris Home and St. Vincent DePaul Cincinnati. The kids and their moms were invited guests at the Reds Youth Academy and got a pleasant surprise when a curtain came up to unveil their new home furnishings. Then the Mighty Men of Crossroads Church delivered the beds to their homes. Mike Dunn, executive director of St. Vincent DePaul Cincinnati, explained the impetus for the first “Day of Dreams.” “We visited our neighbors in their homes and there were two or three kids doubled up in a cushion from the couch or simply a towel or whatever makeshift apparatus they could put together,” said Dunn.
