Sonya was very excited that she found a place that would take her barely used mattress.

“I called everybody!” she said of her search for an organization that would take it as a donation.

After finding no place in Wayne County and only one organization in Oakland, she started calling around in Washtenaw. That’s when she discovered Friends In Deed.

Sonya was happy that the mattress wouldn’t be discarded but used. “[Friends In Deed] assists families when they need it, and beds are more important than other things.”
