"Jonathan Wilson has Angelman Syndrome, a form of mental retardation. The dream of young Jonathan was a backyard, above ground swimming pool, which the local Dream Factory chapter provided. Just being in the water has been a kind of therapy for this 9 year-old. "If you could see Jonathan in that pool," says his mom, "you'd be an avid supporter of The Dream Factory. Now, I want to do anything I can to help them raise money for other kids like my son."
"Sheila Kiam Mehr has cerebral palsy and is unable to talk. But a computer with a CD-ROM talking encyclopedia now helps her "speak" and recognize words and pictures. It was a dream come true for little Sheila, thanks to her friends at The Dream Factory."
"Patrick Alexander Young has been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. While he was in the hospital, he filled out the papers for The Dream Factory himself. More than anything, Patrick wanted his family to take one last, big vacation together. The Dream Factory responded, and the Young family was off to Disney World. Today, Patrick is gone, but his dad says "Thank you, Dream Factory. You gave Patrick a dream, and you gave me and my family a memory that will last forever,"
Innocence Lost Helping to Create New Dreams For Local Kids...
Innocence Lost [Mo-025] is touched by the stories of the children that the Dream Factory has helped out and to show our support of their efforts we are starting a three month long fundraiser with a goal of three hundred dollars.
