The other day I decided to go to the DreamFoundation office to meet some of the staff!
It's so easy to attach your name to something but i really wanted to see how the DreamFoundation operates. I learned so much from going there and it really did make such a difference in my experience to see what it really takes to make a dream happen!
I saw the process from start to finish! I heard different stories about amazing people who have had their dreams fulfilled. People dream for, family reunions, health care, trips to Disneyland, to go to a concert, meet a celebrity, anything, you name it! The purpose of the dream foundation is to grant a dream to a terminally ill adult. I saw that there are different stages in a dream, and anyone can help!
You can go HERE to adopt a dream and help out with dreams that are in progress. These dreams are granted to people who are given a life expectancy time. The people who are given eight weeks or less, are put on an emergency dream list. Those dreams are fast tracked.
Seeing the pictures of these people made it all so much more real for me! And if you look at these few examples, hopefully it will make it more real to you!
Seth is a 39-year-old who was diagnosed with ALS and has a life expectancy of 6 months or less. He was once an avid skier before this illness struck. His dream was to ski again before he dies. Dream Foundation aided to transport him to the Gunstock Adaptive Ski Resort in Laconia, NH. He was joined by eight friends and had a wonderful time.
Lynn is 38 and in her final months of her battle with cancer. Her dream is to have one final family trip with her husband and two young children, as well as her best friend and future guardian of her children.
You can also donate your miles so that in reunion dreams the dream foundation can easily send family members to see their ill loved one. GO HERE to donate your miles!

Kim, its your support for things like this which has giving me a strong and positive opinion of you. I know people will get on to you about anything you do, I guess thats just the nature of being in a spotlight, but I know that this program means the world to you for obvious reasons. which, in my opinion, shows us that there is so much more to you than what people see. I guess knowing this is what has drivin me to come on here and act a fool to the slam kim dorks.

I feel so sad reading about the terminally ill patients and their wishes. I used to work at the Make a Wish Foundation for Children and always donated to them but didn't know there was a similar one for adults.
Reading through their stories, there is one in particular that really moved me and I want to help her dream come true before she dies. That was thoughtful of you to post the link.
WOW KIM YOU ARE REALLY DOING SOMETHING says: | Reply
WOW KIM THIS MAY HAVE BEEN YOUR BEST POST SO FAR. THAT IS GREAT THAT YOU ARE SO INVOLVED IN THE DREAM FOUNDATION, IT REALLY IS A GREAT ORGANIZATION. YOU ARE A WONDERFUL PERSON AND I TRULEY BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE JUST MAKE THINGS UP ABOUT YOU OUT OF JEALOUSY. DONT PAY THEM ANY MIND! YOU ARE A ROLE MODLE JUST KEEP THE TAPES AT HOME. : )

I am kind of new to all this but I wanted to ask you for advice and help. I saw you on an interview and you had said you started selling designer items from friends. Could you give me any advice on how to do this? I am a cancer patient who has just finished treatments and due to the side effects of the radition/chemo I am unable to get a job. I am a single mother and at times I had to depend on my 19 year old beautiful daughter. No daughter should have to see their mother go through what I did, but she was a real trooper and kept me positive even when I wasn't. I don't want to bore you with my problems, I am just trying to earn some money so at least I can provide for my family.
