Adopt a Dream

By adopting a dream, you are paired with an individual child that your money will completely fund their dream.  The range of the price of granting a dream is anywhere from $500 to $5000.  With this donation, you are paired with a child that is requesting a dream, and you get to know exactly who your money is going to support.  You will receive a photo of the child to hang up in your home or office and know that you made a difference in that child's life.  This is also a great option for organizations and businesses that would like to collectively support our charity.  Below is a list of our current dream kids, their dream, and our projected cost of fulfilling it.
