ENSURING SAFE SLEEP SOLUTIONS ONE BED AT A TIME.

Gunner is a curious and clever 4-year-old from Reeds Spring who sees the world with a sense of wonder and adventure. He has autism and requires substantial support, and his curiosity often leads him to explore in ways that can put his safety at risk.
Gunner loves being outside, soaking up everything nature has to offer. When he’s indoors, you’ll often find him playing with his dinosaurs—especially his favorite, the mighty T. rex. He also has a unique habit of filling boxes and bags with rocks and little treasures he finds along the way, keeping himself busy and engaged.
But Gunner’s curiosity and determination also mean he’s an incredible escape artist. Despite many safety measures put in place, he has learned how to get through gates and barriers. Right now, Gunner is still sleeping in a crib, but as he continues to grow, it’s no longer a safe or sustainable option. He loves to climb and can get out, putting him in dangerous situations—especially with his home being near a busy highway.
To help keep him safe at night, Gunner’s mom sleeps on the living room couch so she can closely monitor him. Even with constant supervision and multiple safety measures in place, Gunner continues to find ways to escape.
A zPod specialized safety bed would provide Gunner with a protected space where he can rest safely, giving his family peace of mind and helping ensure he stays out of harm’s way.
Please consider supporting Gunner and sharing his story. Your kindness can help give this adventurous little boy a safe place to sleep and dream. 💙

Gannon is a sweet, resilient 22-year-old from Republic, Missouri, who has a way of brightening the lives of everyone around him. His smile is contagious, and he finds joy in life's simple moments—reading books, taking walks, spending time outdoors, playing with musical and light-up toys, and listening to his favorite music. These activities bring him comfort, happiness, and opportunities to connect with those who love him.
Gannon has Pallister-Killian syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects many aspects of his development, along with epilepsy. He experiences seizures, has low muscle tone, is nonverbal, and uses a wheelchair for mobility. While he communicates differently, his family and nurses know his personality shines through every smile, laugh, and shared moment.
Although Gannon currently sleeps in a modified standard bed with padded sides, it simply isn't designed to meet his medical needs. Even with padding, he can still injure his hands, feet, arms, legs, or head during seizures. The bed's frame also creates spaces where his limbs could become trapped as he frequently repositions throughout the night. In addition, his current bed cannot elevate his head, which is important during illness and for feeding, suctioning, and other daily care needs.
A SafeSleep Bed would be life-changing for Gannon and his family. Its enclosed safety rails would provide greater protection during seizures and prevent entrapment, while its electronic positioning features would make caregiving safer and allow his family to elevate the bed when needed for his health and comfort. Most importantly, it would give Gannon a bed that is truly designed for his unique needs—offering greater safety, better care, and priceless peace of mind.
Your generosity can help make that possible. Every gift, no matter the amount, brings Gannon one step closer to sleeping safely in a bed built to protect him.
❤️ Together, we can help give Gannon the safe sleep he deserves.
