Dreams 4 Kids

The Caring Institute works with healthcare professionals and parents to bring joy and comfort to children with catastrophic and terminal illnesses through its Dreams 4 Kids program.  When funds allow, Caring Institute’s Dreams 4 Kids program meets the immediate needs of these children and their families helping them to cope with many challenges during the most stressful times of their lives.  Typically, these children and their families cannot afford necessary expenses and everyday care, let alone items and events that may bring joy to a family for the last few months of a child’s life or during illness treatments.  Dreams 4 Kids works closely with providers and families to fulfill specific requests for necessities and wishes to encourage play, interaction, and celebration among a family.
