Dream Come True

Services

Dreams begin with a referral and don’t end with the dream. Once a Dream Come True child always a Dream Come child. We stay with our children throughout their life. We offer dreams, various events where families get together for fun, support and fellowship. We also offer our children who are dream recipients college scholarships if they are able to attend college. If they unfortunately pass away, Dream Come True helps the family give the child the funeral they so richly deserve.

Dream Funerals

Dream Come True has been with a child and their family through many happy times and many difficult times.  It seems only fitting that we be with them in the end.  Should a Dream Come True child succumb to their illness, we will help the family through this most difficult time.  We help the family plan the funeral their child so richly deserves.  We have contacted local funeral homes to help us provide this needed service. 

Dream Scholarships

If a Dream Come True dream recipient is able to attend college or trade school, we will offer them an annual scholarship towards their tuition costs.  A Dream Come True recipient will submit an application, essay, invoice and official transcripts.  Each recipient may receive an annual scholarship up to 5 years for undergraduate work.

6 Simple Steps to Granting a Dream

1.
Request
We request a letter with the child’s name, age, address, telephone number, parent’s name and the child’s diagnosis. We forward a medical authorization to the parents for signature and doctor information.
2.
Determine
To determine the child’s medical eligibility, Dream Come True, after receiving a medical authorization from the parents, contacts the child’s medical team. The child’s medical team completes our medical determination questionnaire which is reviewed by Dream Come True to establish if the illness is a medical diagnosis that is life threatening or has seriously altered their lifestyle. Doctors verification determines a child’s eligibility.
3.
Eligible
Once a child is deemed medically eligible, two of our dream team volunteers meet with the family in the child’s home. At this meeting the children use their imagination to create the experience of a lifetime. Their dream is born!
4.
Report
The dream team prepares a report to present to our board of directors about the child and their dream for approval.
5.
Approval
After board approval our team of volunteers work on fulfilling the dream.
6.
Refer

We are incredibly thankful for the kindness, compassion, and love that Dream Come True showered on our family during our daughter's illness. Dream Come True entered our family's life when our daughter Sarah was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 5 - a crushing blow that left our family heartbroken and terrified.
