Beachwood High School junior Dalya Berezovsky knows firsthand what it is like to be a little kid in the hospital, so in 2008, her family started Sweet Dreams for Kids to give families a little piece of home during difficult times.

Sweet Dreams for Kids is a nonprofit started by her mother, Wendy Berezovsky, that has donated over 30,000 new pajamas to children and their siblings in hospitals around the world. It began in Minneapolis and the family brought it to Cleveland when they moved to Beachwood three years ago. Most recently, Dalya, 17, helped organize the second pajama drive through Beachwood City Schools and collected over 100 pairs from Nov. 4 through Nov. 22.

“I don’t remember anything,” Dalya told the Cleveland Jewish News of her battle with cancer that required many hospital stays. “But I know it’s not fun to be in the hospital and I know what it’s like to go through cancer. So, we just wanted to give back to others.”
