À propos de cet audio
As we move deeper into the holiday season, Fostering Change continues to shine a light on the small acts of kindness that create powerful, lasting impact. This week, Rob Scheer sits down with his longtime friend Luke Mickelson, founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) — a nonprofit built on one simple mission: “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town.”
What started in 2012, when Luke built a single bed for a family in need, has grown into a global movement. Today, SHP has 400+ chapters across 46 states and 4 countries, and has delivered nearly 300,000 beds to children who would otherwise be sleeping on the floor.
As Luke shares:
“When I found out a child was sleeping on a pile of clothes, it changed me. I realized I could sit there and do nothing, or I could get my feet on the ground and build another bed.”
SHP empowers communities to take action by building beds locally, training new chapters, and helping neighbors come together through service — proving that every community can solve this issue in its own backyard.
In this episode, Rob and Luke discuss:
How one small idea grew into a global movement
The often unseen crisis of child bedlessness
SHP’s “Humans Helping Humans” approach to volunteerism
What it takes to start a chapter in your own community
Why staying focused on a simple mission fuels sustainable growth
Luke’s story is a powerful reminder that transformative change often begins with a single decision to help someone else.
