About / who we are
Sleep Tight Tonight in Serenity is a non-profit organization that provides support to families, organizations, and countries struggling when tragedy strikes.
Through our Sleep Heroes program, we are able to give people the comfort and sleep they deserve when they are in need.
Sleep Tight Tonight is a charity fighting on the front lines to ensure families have peace, comfort, and stability to sleep at night — because someone cares enough to support them through tough times.
Birthed on February 8, 2009, Dr. Candace Benton, a clinical therapist with a Ph.D. in Human and Organizational Systems and Behavior is the founder of STT. This is born out of STT’s desire to help individuals and grassroots organizations find a level of peace and joy in their personal lives that allows them to have a peaceful night’s sleep because they know they are not invisible and there is someone working on their behalf.
In the beginning, STT did a lot of work with homeless men, where STT offered housing services to men that had been displaced by various maladies of life. Most recently, STT has changed its focus but not its heart’s desire to help those in need.
Today, STT focuses on what is known as the “working poor”.
Many of these individuals work every day but are unable to ‘make ends meet’. This usually surfaces at the end of the month when all of their funds are depleted yet all of their needs have not been taken care of. They continually live in a gap that needs to be filled.

Our Egypt Team Ambassadors
Ramadan Hassan and Yasser Abdel-Fatah
Ramadan and Yasser are natives and residents of Luxor, Egypt. They have worked with STT for almost 2 years. They help by being the point person in Egypt and identify families and individuals that need assistance. They distribute the funds and goods that are sent to Egypt from STT. The utilize funds to purchase food, clothing, toiletries, and other needed items and commodities. Both Ramadan and Yasser have compassionate hearts. They understand ‘honor’ and the need to lift others up when they are facing the multiple life challenges that emerge in living the Egyptian life. Ramadan and Yasser are vital part of the STT team by helping STT understand the needs, the culture, and the multiple ways that STT can partner with Egypt.
Our Mexico Team Ambassadors
Juan and Erica Rodriguez
This lovely couple heads up efforts in Mexico. They are long time pioneers in the culture of ‘honor”. They pastor a church in Rialto, CA, and they take services, goods, food, love and compassion to some of the most vulnerable men and women in Mexico. Many of these families and individuals live on the fringe of Mexico. They have no or extremely limited access to food, clothing, care, and compassion. For all intent and purposes…they are truly forgotten. Juan and Erica work with STT to advise the STT team on what is needed and how to best distribute goods and services to those most in need. Through Juan and Erica, STT has been able to assist with serving this population and STT will be able to expand their services to our Mexican brother and sisters.
