| Dream Street Foundation |
|
|
| Founded in 1988, Dream Street provides camping and support programs for children and young adults with terminal, chronic and life threatening illnesses. Annually, over 700 children with cancer, aids, cystic fibrosis, blood disorders and other serious illnesses enjoy activities they would normally be restricted from due to their illness. For thos children who require medicine daily or several times a day, the usual sleep-away camp is not sufficiently sophisticated to handle their medical needs. At Dream Street, volunteer counselors, as well as a complete medical staff are on hand to spend endless hours with any child who needs special help and love. A staff of nurses, psychologists, social workers and doctors are present 24/7 providing round the clock medical coverage. At present, Dream Street funds and operates programs in California, Arizona, Arkansas, Mississippi and New Jersey. Camp sessions are free of charge to the campers who attend. There are no paid salaries within the Dream Street Foundation. Dream Street is a public non-profit organization. Dream Street brings the dream of normal childhood activities to reality for these children. It is an environment in which no child sits on the sidelines or has to worry about being different. |
