Despite COVID, The Dream Factory is Still Helping Kids
With all the things that are happening today, from all the hate and the COVID-19 virus, we tend to forget that people still struggling with severe medical conditions are struggling before COVID-19 started. At the Dream Factory, they are working hard to help kids with medical conditions to make their dream comes true while in these difficult times.
In this episode of In Focus by U Multicultural hosted by Mark Aaron, he interviews the Executive Director of Dream Factory, Howard Koks. At The Dream Factory, their mission statement makes dreams come true for kids in Manitoba battling life-threatening illnesses. They exist to be sources of joy, laughter and hope for kids and families in our province going through a challenging experience. Since 1983, they have been working hard to granting to families in Manitoba battling life-threatening illnesses. They nearly made 800 dreams come true through love and support. Even though a difficult time last year, they still made 18 dreams come true. They made a dream of a young girl to meet Billie Ellish as her dream. As well they made a dream for someone to be on the ice with the Winnipeg Jets.
COVID means that there are no trips to Disneyland, but there are other kinds of dreams that can still be fulfilled. The Dream Factory still needs your help to make these kids’ dreams come true.
