Relief Beds Were Combined with a Shipping Container Filled with Humanitarian Aid Sponsored by World Vision
TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --Headquartered in Tacoma, Washington, humanitarian organization, Relief Bed International has been busy in 2023 in support of disaster relief projects. Earlier this year Relief Bed International sent 500 beds to support the recovery efforts from the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. Now just a few months later Relief Bed International is sending 100 beds to help with emergency sheltering caused by the devasting wildfires in Maui, Hawaii.
Founded in 2015 Relief Bed Internationals mission is to donate strategically built beds in support of disaster relief and humanitarian efforts globally, with a key focus on the US.
"Sleep is the number 3 biological need only bested by water and food. Without proper sleep a person runs the risk of lacking energy, mental focus and most importantly HOPE, stated an emotional Scott Smalling Relief Bed Internationals Founder. When we first started Relief Bed International we interviewed relief organizations and learned that beds were one of the main things requested from the field, but were not being supplied successfully, continued Smalling.
"We are so appreciative of our long-time partner Relief Bed International and their most recent 100 bed donation for the victims impacted by the Maui fires. We are praying these beds arrive this week in Maui and then will be rapidly distributed. As so many families are displaced, these beds can allow for a much needed comfortable rest and sleep in a temporary shelter while displaced. The simplest items often are the most meaningful, like these donated Relief Beds." – Mike Gillespie Sr Director Corporate Engagement for World Vision.
There are many important features that make Relief Beds a go-to for relief organizations. Aside from being comfortable, insulating the body from varying ground temperatures, they are also water resistant, easy to clean between uses, ship compact to the response areas and can be recompacted and stored for future deployments.
