Janet’s 2025 Gems 'February on the Floor'

Sleeping on the floor to help children pursue their dreams

raised by 18 supporters

From 22nd to 23rd February I, now a great grandmother for the 5th time, am taking on the February on the Floor challenge again for the 4th time (I was ill in 2022) to help change thousands of kids' lives.

There are families around the world who spend every night sleeping on the floor, children who wake up hungry with their parents unable to provide breakfast and kids in tattered uniforms without school resources and so I'm taking on the February on the Floor challenge once again so that I can improve their sleeping conditions and provide them with all they need to start their day prepared for school.

A weekend of uncomfortable sleep for me will be completely worth it as I know that uniforms, school bags, breakfast and beds will transform children's lives. Please give generously as I would love to help as many children as possible.

I can't wait to update you with photos and details of my experience as well as the children whose lives have been changed because of your support.

Thank you

Stand by Me rescues kids from extreme circumstances, then provides the care, love and attention they need to thrive. We care for over 3,800 kids across the world, from Myanmar to Colombia to Ethiopia. No two are the same, some are orphaned, some abandoned, some abused or living in extreme poverty, so we take care to meet each of their individual needs from food and healthcare, to loving parents and quality education, enabling them to reach their potential, stand on their own two feet and become who they were created to be.

February on the Floor is a fundraising event designed to make a significant difference to the lives of our amazing Stand by Me children. We ask people to sleep on the floor for a weekend of their choice in February and raise money to help provide families with uniforms, school bags, breakfast and beds to enable them to pursue their dreams.
