How this project begin
Hello All,
First, we hope and pray for a fast and heathy recovery for all of our friends and neighbors from Siesta Key to Tampa Bay and beyond!
As my wife and I drove around looking at all the damage in the area to include our own! We saw tons and tons of household goods and many mattresses piled in front of home after home.
I said to my wife at that time... "We need to figure out a way to try and help" The next day we spoke with our main supplier Mlily USA based in western TN with distribution across the US and asked for special wholesale pricing for us, that would allow us to extend deep discounts to our local customers during this recovery period. They immediately said "YES" we would love to help anyway possible!
UPDATE 10/14/2024: WOW!!
Now, after the second Hurricane hit, they called us
and said that they wanted to help even more! So, together with Mlily USA we will be donating (500) new mattresses to the hardest hit communities here in the Bradenton, FL area! How amazing is it for Mlily USA to help our local communities, just wow!
You can see the press release here!
Considering that we own a small local mattress store in Bradenton, FL since 2018 (we have been in the sleep business for over (20) years) we figured all of these mattresses would need to be replaced and purchased somewhere, right? Why not at a local family owned mattress store right here in Bradenton, FL? and now with this major donation by Mlily USA and Sleep Pros USA. We all can band together to help one another, as our business is being affected just like yours. Our family's home and life has been affected just like yours!
Therefore, today Sept. 29th (which happens to be my birthday, great way to spend it, thanks HH) we started the "Hurricane Helene Relief Project" for all of our neighbors here in the Bradenton area! We now have to include Mr. Milton, so it will now be called "The Hurricane Helene & Milton Relief Project"
Best wishes on a speedy recovery to all,
Corey, Susan & our kids Alec, Kaia & Erik
Owners
And yes, we had damage as well... a tree fell on our home in Bradenton!
