Charity Accepts Applications to Make Kids' Dreams Come True

LOVELAND – Dreams do come true. That is the message the Macdonald Family Charity wants to get across to kids with special circumstances. Between September 1 and October 15 the charity will be accepting applications on behalf of eligible children–youth between the ages of 2 and 18 who are terminally ill, chronically ill, injured, in a foster care environment or of a family with a low income, and live in Larimer or Weld Counties .

“We recognize there are many children, due to physical limitations or financial struggles, who are never exposed to opportunities to help them see the hope and possibility that exists in the world and our community” says AJ Macdonald, founder of Macdonald Family Charity. “If we can provide an opportunity for a child to have one of their dreams come true–a child who may not ever have that chance due to circumstances beyond their control–then we’ve accomplished what we set out to do.”

Macdonald Family Charity, established in January 2007, already has granted dreams to 14 children. The most recent dream recipient was James, a little boy from a family with a low income, who received his dream of attending the WWE Raw and then met the wrestlers after the show.  The experience was one that was at once overwhelming and amazing for this WWE fan.   

Nomination instructions and forms can be downloaded from the charity’s website (www.macdonaldfamilycharity.org) or obtained by calling Katie at (970) 667-6119.  The applications must be complete and received by October 15 in order to be considered for this round of nominations.
