Dream House is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization making it possible for medically complex children to live at home, instead of a hospital or nursing home.

NURTURE THE DREAM

Laura and Joey*

The Dream House Story:
Beginnings

His name was Joey(*). Although medically fragile, his condition was deemed stable, making him eligible for discharge. Joey had no where to go. His hospital room was home. Television and the nursing staff were his family. Joey died before he had a chance to find his forever family and a real home. *Please note: due to confidentiality issues, Joey is not this child's real name.

Pediatric nurse Laura Moore and Joey were friends for the four years he lived in the hospital. Laura had cared for hundreds of children like Joey. He was the catalyst that defined Laura's DREAM. Children like Joey deserve a home, a family and a future.

As Founder and CEO of Dream House for Medically Fragile Children, Inc., Laura created a program unique in the United States. The proven Dream House Family for Keeps® Transition Care Program provides wraparound hospital-to-home services and education. This enables families to care for these children at home, giving them a chance to be part of a loving home where they are valued and cared for effectively.
