Making Dreams Come True – Dreams Matter

Fulfilling the dreams of life-threatened children is at the core of what Reach For A Dream does. When a child gets diagnosed with a life-threatening illness it takes a severe toll on their life. Despite this reality, life-threatened children still have dreams, and they want to fulfill them. Through fulling each child’s dream they are able to bring a spark of hope back into each child’s life, as they know children want nothing more than to have their dreams come true, regardless of their illness. A dream could be going to the sea for the first time or getting a doll house. No matter the dream, we try to fulfil it. Every day we make 6 Dreams come true across the country. Let’s make dreams come true.

Childhood should be the most magical phase of one's life. For children who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, the magic is easily lost. Reach For A Dream tries to alleviate some of the emotional, physical and financial strain of dealing with a life-threatening illness by creating magical moments that last a lifetime. Some of the health concerns we deal with range from leukaemia, cystic fibrosis, and muscular dystrophy to HIV, kidney failure and blood disorders. Through fulfilling each child's unique dream we are able to bring many forms of relief to each child. Fulfilling the dreams of terminally ill children is not just about fulfilling a child's wants. Our work is about improving the quality of life of these children. Dreams normally fall into one of the following categories:
