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!
