Support organization

Dream Factory, Inc.

Dream Factory grants dreams to children ages 3–18 whose critical or chronic physical illness is documented by a treating physician. The child must communicate the dream, must not have received another organization's wish, and must live in a community served by an active chapter, usually within about 50 miles. Only the child, a parent or legal guardian, or the treating physician may refer.
