Dream House currently has seven "open" cases, via the Family for Keeps® Bridging the Gap Program, to assist medically fragile children in need. Please contact us for specific details about these eight children's needs and the ways you may help with cash donations, in-kind donations (goods or services), or by volunteering your time. This program is funded 100% from community donations.
Please note: at this time, Dream House has temporarily closed applications and is unable to accept further requests for assistance via this community-funded program. In June 2010, we will post information about the next opportunity to apply for assistance through the Family for Keeps® Bridging the Gap Program.
Remember: Dream House always needs diapers and gift cards (grocery, general retailer, gas) to distribute to families throughout the state. See our Wish List.

Dream House takes calls every day from desperate families.
The home modifications, durable medical equipment, therapies and other health care supplies that insurance doesn't cover are still unquestionably necessary for a medically fragile child to live safely at home with his family. What happens when personal resources dry up and his family has no where else to turn?
Child's Need + Volunteers + Funding = Results
The need is unique to each child's diagnosis and recommendations from the child's multidisciplinary clinical team. Volunteers, product/service donations and cash gifts enable Dream House work as a liaison to help families source the best solution to their medically fragile child's need. Get involved today.
This program is solely funded by private donations.
