The nonprofit, Good Knights, builds beds for children in need in Lorain County but costs and demands are increasing while donations dwindle.
It’s like Santa’s workshop inside this building in Amherst.We often focus on kids in need getting fed and being housed — but here, the goal is making sure every child has a safe place to lay their head at night.“We’ve gone into situations where are sleeping on concrete floors, kids are sleeping in closets in a nest of clothes, kids are sleeping with their parents, on couches, on chairs,” said Roger Dorsey, founder of Good Knights of Lorain County.
With Ukrainian refugees and families living together post-COVID after job losses and economic stress, their demand has never been higher.And not only is the rising demand a challenge, but so are the rising costs of materials and lumber.On top of all that, their donations are drastically down.
