It made me wonder if he currently had an old one that was in need of being replaced or if he had been sharing a bed with his mother or sister. I know many children in families short on money or with little living space share a bed with their siblings or even their parents.
Maybe getting this bed would give him a little more self-esteem or independence because he would have his very own bed. It could be that both children are currently sharing a bed with their mother and this new bed may possibly allow her to have her own sleeping space.
I quickly sent a letter back saying that I would gladly support the purchase of a bed.

What a lovely gift! A good night's sleep can make all the difference in the world. I know I'm much better at studying and paying attention in class when I've slept well.
Good for you for getting Jose a bed. He's a lucky kid.
I had a girl who I didn't know needed a bed until I asked. My guess is that kids sometimes have a bed that's too small, or old, or substandard, or maybe frames without mattresses, and that may not show up on the Family Report.
Good going... a new bed.
It's quite common for the kids to need beds. Many sleep on the floor, which is often dirt. Filling that need is one of the things CI emphasizes (if possible), to get them away from the damp. Even when the report says the family has beds, the number of kids who can share one is reduced as they grow.
Awww, that precious boy. God bless you for helping him get that. So awesome! Hope to hear more on how it goes.
Well done.
