“We believed in the kids. We believed in their parents as heroes who wake up every single day and help them navigate these challenges. We didn't really have a roadmap except for deeply caring about them having a better future.”

“People here can see the potential in people that not everybody can see. No matter who they are, what age they are, everyone is supposed to be able to be happy and have something to do that fulfills them. Have Dreams gives that to their participants, their staff, their families, everybody.”

“When I ask him, ‘who are your friends?’, he will tell me, kids from Have Dreams.”

“I think that it would be a good thing for have dreams to help me see what's to come in the future ahead, and it could be really helpful so that I know what's coming and I'm ready to face it because I'm only 11 and a half. There's so much out there for me to see, so much to do.”
