Cribs of Hope
Safe Sleep. Strong Starts. Shelter Support.
Mission Statement
To protect the lives of newborns and bring peace of mind to families in crisis by equipping homeless shelters with safe sleep education and physical sleep solutions -like cribs, bassinets, and pack ‘n plays - while empowering shelter staff to care for both the babies and the parents who carry them.
We believe every life is sacred, every baby deserves to rest safely, and every parent deserves to exhale.
About Cribs of Hope
Cribs of Hope was born out of the love and legacy of Chyna and Onyx - symbols of both gentleness and strength. We believe in protecting the sacredness of life, especially when it’s most vulnerable.
We partner with homeless shelters, transitional housing centers, and community support programs to:
Provide safe sleep education for shelter staff
Equip shelters with physical bassinets, cribs, or safe sleep solutions
Empower teams to educate clients without shame or fear
Reduce preventable deaths due to unsafe sleep environments
Offer families and staff peace of mind, night after night
This work honors the babies already born—those who are here, alive, sacred, and worth protecting.
Why I’m Doing This
I’ve worked with moms, babies, and families for years - and what breaks my heart is seeing babies sleeping on unsafe surfaces simply because shelters weren’t equipped or trained. I’ve met mothers who haven’t slept in days, terrified of their baby falling, suffocating, or being rolled on. I’ve seen fear steal the rest and recovery every new mother needs.
This is where Cribs of Hope was born - from a place of honoring life through action. I want moms to feel safe. I want babies to wake up. I want shelter staff to feel confident and supported in how they serve vulnerable families.
This isn’t about shame. This is about love. About peace. About rest.
What Opened My Eyes
I supported a mother who had to leave her home and enter a shelter after her living situation became unsafe. Her baby was four months old, and she’d always used a bassinet or crib. In the shelter, she was given a bed - with no crib, no bassinet, and no safe sleep space for her son.
She put the mattress on the floor and co-slept with him - not because she wanted to, but because she was afraid he’d roll off the bed. It broke my heart. I didn’t feel good about it.
That moment opened my eyes: most shelters aren’t equipped to support safe sleep for newborns, infants, or toddlers who aren’t ready for a standard bed. I knew something had to change.
This is why Cribs of Hope exists. Through education, training, and love - not shame. We’re working to make sure every baby has a safe place to sleep, and every mother can rest a little easier.
