Danielle Ribeiro from Great.com interviewed Reach For A Dream as part of their ‘Great.com Talks With…’ podcast. This series is an antidote to negative news stories that aims to shed light on organisations and experts whose work is making a positive impact on the world.

Birgit Deibele, Head of Marketing and Communications of Reach For A Dream, spoke to Great.com about how Reach For A Dream has carved a niche where compassion meets resilience, creating unforgettable experiences for those who dare to dream.

Since 1988, Reach For A Dream Foundation has brought hope, joy and healing to countless children by encouraging them to use their dreams to fight life-threatening illnesses. We seek to alleviate the strain a critical illness places on children and their families by making their dreams come true. These dreams — ranging from meeting personal heroes to getting new toys or experiencing new things for the first time — provide them with a temporary escape and a much-needed distraction from often painful medical treatments. Most importantly, fulfilled dreams inspire hope, giving these youngsters a reason to believe that tomorrow is worth fighting for.

Our national projects like Laughter Heroes, Dream Rooms and Dream Club provide ongoing support, enhancing the lives of these brave young fighters and their families.

Behind the scenes of these impactful engagements is a network of donors and volunteers whose contributions are pivotal. Funding is vital for the continuum of the foundation’s mission, which is why the generosity of donors and the spirit of volunteerism serve as the lifeblood of the foundation’s operations.

Outreach and community involvement are crucial components and Reach For A Dream encourages individuals from all walks of life to contribute in whatever way they can. Donations, volunteering, and even corporate partnerships are some of the ways the public can support this noble cause. Every contribution, big or small, plays a part in bringing these aspirations to fruition.

Witnessing the spark of joy in a child’s eyes upon achieving their dream is a dramatic affirmation of the strength and significance of Reach For A Dream’s work. Our determined efforts give these admirable young fighters a symbol of success in their battles, creating a legacy of positivity that ripples through communities and inspires everyone touched by the foundation’s purpose.
