                            LET'S BUILD BEDS

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, I rise today with more good news. A 
wonderful organization in my district, Let's Build Beds, serves 
northwest Ohio and does exactly what its name implies, building beds 
for children whose families are in need.
  The organization's mission states: ``We believe that every child 
deserves a bed of their own to sleep in at night. We believe that every 
child is full of infinite potential. We help children by providing a 
bed and empowering them to assemble it and be successful.''
  Partnering with local Rotary chapters, Let's Build Beds brings 
together various charitable organizations for group projects to make 
beds, furnish the bedclothes, and deliver and assemble the beds to 
children in need. Older children often participate in this real-life 
Lego project.
  I have been privileged to help build these beds with community 
members and learn from impacted families how important this joyous 
venture is.

  This constructive, simple idea can be replicated everywhere. I look 
forward to future building opportunities with schools, churches, and 
organizations dedicated to giving a lasting gift to children and 
families, especially during the upcoming holiday season.
