Our Mission
Dreams & Wishes aims to preserve and create positive childhood memories by fulfilling ‘dreams & wishes’ made by children and families deemed underprivileged and in need. We aim to foster, provide and create positive childhood memories to children who have been exposed to domestic violence, physical/sexual/emotional abuse, homelessness, poverty, abandonment and neglect.
We Believe
-
Every child should be able to cherish and experience positive childhood memories and granting their dreams and wishes will assist in developing and providing those positive memories.
-
Positive childhood memories obtained through community involvement create stronger family and community bonds
-
Building positive family connections between a parent and a child can be fostered through interactive family activities such as the planning of a Birthday Party
-
Every family should have the opportunity to bond and preserve childhood memories by participating in positive family events.
-
Financial and other socially stigmatizing and traumatic events should not prevent a child from having their dreams and wishes met.
-
For children and families to invest in their community, the community needs to demonstrate their investment in the family.
