The Origin of Sleep in Heavenly Peace
In 2012, Luke Mickelson, inspired by a family in need, initiated the project to provide beds for underprivileged kids who were sleeping on the floor. Gathering Boy Scouts, they built a bed for a child, sparking joy and a sense of purpose in the volunteers. Witnessing a child sleeping on a pile of clothes, Luke realized the profound impact a simple bed could have. This led to the formation of Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), focusing solely on building beds to address child bedlessness.
