Our Mission
Our Mission at the Sweet Dreams Foundation is to “improve the quality of life for children who are battling a life threatening disease through the creation of their Dream bedroom.” These children can not live a normal life so we take the time to get to know the child’s needs and wants, then create an atmosphere that will be uplifting to the child to help with their healing process.
Make an actionable difference in the lives of our Sweet Dreams families today. Donate your time or financial support to help make a child’s dream a reality.

The vision began when I was 11 years old taking care of my grandfather as he was dying from lung cancer. Months of watching him lay in bed sparked an interest to help those who were seriously ill. It was very hard to take care of him and watch him in unbearable pain. My mom took care of the necessities to live and I relieve his pain through countless massages. The night before he passed, he gave me a kiss on the forehead and said God was taking him home. That night he passed. Thank you grandpa for sparking my mission in life.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jen when my daughters Girl Scout troop were seeking a place to donate money. I was immediately drawn to the organization and to Jen and Daniel because of their heart for God and these children.
I felt the Holy Spirit guide me to be a part of this and it has been a very rewarding experience to be surrounded by the others on our board that have such a heart for service.

When I met Jenn and Daniel and Jenn said this is our ministry I was SOLD! I love that we have the ability to come in and help. Something so simple can make such an impact in someone’s life. I just love that Jennifer and Daniel have the heart to put this organization together so that we all can take a small part.

Art has always been a big part of my life. Growing up I loved to express myself in my drawings. When I heard of Sweet Dreams Foundation I had to get involved. Seeing the struggle these children go through broke my heart. Learning about each child and what they love I knew that I can express it with mural work in their bedrooms. I Love that my Love for Drawing can bring Joy to All the children that we give a Dream Bedroom to.
