2011 has been an exciting time to launch our name change. We have been "A Child's Dream" for 4 months now, and we are loving it. With meeting our goal of funds raised at the fashion show as well as making 6 dreams come true, it has been busy and wonderful. Thank you for the role you play in making it so!
As you know, the school year is wrapping up, and summer vacations are on everyone's minds. Where are you going this summer? Perhaps to visit relatives or the beach? Maybe even Disneyland or World? Fun times are ahead - there's no doubt about it!
For some of the kids in our community the summer doesn't look as exciting. Kids like Travis. Travis is a little boy from Loveland who is from an extremely low income family. He hears his friends at school ask each other where their families are going this summer, and this sweet little boy knows that his family can't afford to go anywhere. His dad was in an accident at work that left him with a brain injury and without one leg. His mom does what she can, but she is unable to leave the home to get a job to support the family because Travis and his sibling can't be left alone with dad because of the injuries. It's a vicious cycle, and unfortunately, Travis is one of the people suffering the most. He would love to be able to be as excited as his school friends about summer and brag about a trip to Disneyland - somewhere he's dreamed of going for the longest time.
This is just one of the stories of the children whose dreams we are hoping to fulfill this summer. However, we can't do it alone. Over the course of May, we hope you will consider giving a donation to A Child's Dream to help us fulfill the summer dreams. Dreams like Travis' of going to Disneyland! It's easy to make a donation - simply click here.
Thank you for all of your support in the past. Your gifts, time and support have helped us fulfill 6 dreams already in 2011. Did you know that since we were founded, A Child's Dream has made over 40 dreams a reality? That's in less than 3 1/2 years! We can't do it alone, and we thank you for what you do!
Sincerely,
Katie
Executive Director
