Dream Granting

0 0 1 140 860 The Dream Foundation 66 52 948 14.0 Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ Dream Foundation, founded in 1994, was the first, and remains the largest, national wish-granting organization for adults suffering from terminal illness. The purpose of our organization is to provide these individuals, and their families, a unique type of compassionate care through the receipt of a dream. The dreams we grant are as diverse as the dreamers themselves, from bedside weddings to special family vacations where parents and children spend cherished time together. Some dreams fulfill a specific need for items that will improve a family’s quality of life - a lift chair for mobility or a comfortable bed - basic comforts that make a difference in a time of need. Our dream recipients have been financially devastated by their diseases. Unable to work and amassing astronomical medical bills, dreams are out of reach. Dream Foundation steps in with the resources that change a person’s life, providing access to a last wish of the heart and delivering comfort, peace and joy.
