Sample Stories

U.S. Army and Vietnam veteran John dreamed of taking an Honor flight to pay his respects at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC. Dream Foundation also arranged for John to be presented with a commemorative pin during his visit.

Emily served as a “Donut Dollie” in the Vietnam war and dreamed of soaring in a glider to experience the joy of flying once more. After her Dream, she shared, “I want to thank you for one of the greatest adventures of my lifetime.”

U.S. Army veteran Virginia dreamed of seeing her sister once more and taking a trip to San Francisco. Dream Foundation arranged a Dream trip to the city which included a private tour of the USS Hornet, where Virginia was welcomed by a bell rung only for VIPs and dignitaries, and a private tour of the Academy of Sciences. Virginia ended her trip with a tearful reunion with her sister in Yuba city, “You don’t know how happy I am!” She shared. “I never dreamt that anything like this would ever happen to me.”

Language Do’s And Don’ts

Dream Foundation grants Dreams not wishes.
Dream Foundation is not The Dream Foundation.
Dream Foundation serves terminally-ill adults.
When we refer to Dreams, we capitalize the “D” because they are important to us.
