Children in foster care often face emotional and psychological challenges as they adjust to new environments.
‍
Children experiencing homelessness worry about where they will sleep on a given night, and if they have a place to sleep, they are afraid of losing it.
‍
We aim to inspire a generation of well-rested and self-affirmed young people who will transform their lives and change the world. The Precious Dreams Foundation serves youth as they enter and exit foster care and homeless shelters, providing support during two of their most challenging transitional periods. Join us in serving thousands of newborns, children and young adults each year!
