I am exceedingly happy with the way Dreamcatchers For Abused Children uses social media to bring abuse to light. The news alerts and updates show that abuse can not be hidden any longer and that it still exists.
Outstanding Organization that makes abused of children known and its importance of awareness/ epidemic. Know one wants to read these cases but its imperative this message gets out/ it is happening everywhere and involves everyone's help to report abuse and save OUR children.
I was Abused as a Child and know only too well the issues. Dreamcatchers is an awesome organization and has been helping in the efforts of getting awareness of Child Abuse out to the public!! They have excellent programs to help teach parents about alternatives to abuse and also helping children to know when & how to report the abuse. They've developed curriculum for the educators of our children to help them to identify an abused child, etc. There is not enough room to tell you ALL that they do to help protect our children!! I am Proud to be part of this organization in anyway they need me!!

Through this amazing organization, I have been able to help those in need and crisis, and protect & empower children. I love this organization and everything they stand for.

This is a very dedicated group of people who help raise awareness about child abuse. I have been following them since the beginning and have learned a lot about what is going on around us from the internet posts. I rarely comment, but with young children it is imperative that all adults know the signs of abuse in our own children as well as others. They are always willing to help!
A wonderful organization that brings the much needed awareness to the silent epidemic of child abuse.
I only recently found this charity on facebook and i think they are amazing. Theyre website is the best i've ever seen. They are the best out there!
I continue to stand behind and support this charity 100%!!!

My mom founded this organization in 2007. She has dedicated her entire life to helping others and educating the public on child abuse and neglect. I volunteer to help as often as I can as I admire what she is doing and want to help as well. She has helped more people than I can count (even some of my closest friends who are survivors of abuse). She is my mentor.
I am very proud to see Dreamcatchers continue to gain more and more followers . I have seen this organization excel. All of the team members and volunteers go over and above all expectations when it comes to helping the public on child abuse awareness.

I follow this group on Facebook and voted for them last year as well. I continue to support them because their team is dedicated to their mission.
Dreamcatchers has consistently posted very important information which is helpful for educating and informing the public on the horrific nature of child abuse.
I have watched this nonprofit expland to include radio talk shows.
There have been donations made to children in the form of Easter baskets and school backpacks.
A very worthwhile cause with very fine people at the helm. I am not sure there is any comparible to Dreamcatchers...

I presently volunteer for Dream Catchers for Abused Children. It is an on line site and I work for it from my face book site. I usually recruit people so that they might join the cause. I also search on line newspapers in order to forward to Dream Catchers any articles on abused children, dead children, raped children or missing children. These articles are them posted in order to educate people on what is happening to children as far as such abuses would cover.
People need to be aware of the fact that children are being sexually abused in stores such as the Salvation army store or the Walmart store. People need to be aware of the fact that a child walked to school and never made it, instead being found three days latter raped and murdered. People need to be aware that parents, doctors, teachers and all others from all walks of life are known to abuse and murder a child.
I find that in helping Dream Catchers for Abused Children I help myself. I have a passion which now occupies my time and I am helping others. In recruiting I have found friends which I would not have otherwise known. My feeling about myself have improved since I belong with an organization that is helping in an area I believe needs to be helping in.
The organization is limited to what they actually can do because of funding. It depends on donations and grants. I would like to see a structured home base. I would like to see it grow to include locations all over the world. Maybe one day a shelter will be built where children could be placed in emergencies. I also would like to see more work being done to revamp bills and laws that do not help the abused child.
I have seen people go and I have seen people come. My hope is that abuse of a child does not become secondary to other causes which I fear. I mean docotrs, lawyers, police pentagon officials are being charged with abusing children. Causes such as Save the Leopards are recruiting more people than our casue for abused children. How many people are still turning their heads when they learn a child has been abused. We need to have dedicated individuals in our cause. We need to work hard in order to stop or even cap abused towards the child.
I receive updates from the Facebook page of this organization because I opted for it. The reason I opted for it: I have three children of my own who I would be devestated if anything were to happen to them. I pass along the information in these posts in the belief that if I hadn't, and one of MY friends had been the one missing piece of the puzzle that led to that child being found, or rescued from a bad situation, or whatever the case may be, I would forever question myself for what could have been. We live in a world of "what if's".
What if it was my child who went missing?! What if my son had been the one murdered and left in a ditch? What if my neighbors' child was the one in the article in question?! I could never sit idly by if I knew something that could help. So I do what I can when I do t have any other information to help more.
In the hopes that SOMEONE, further down the line will step up, raise their hand, and say "I saw her/him, they went that way," or even just POINT!!!
This organization is an amazing hope filled brainchild that would never have gone anywhere had it not been for social media and MANY many many other like minded people, the founder(s) being the first in line for the par on the back.
Keep up the great work! You help so many families move on or recover to heal. I hope that you continue to do so in the future for many years to come.
Working with the many members of Dreamcatchers for Abused Children to help educate the public with the facts on child abuse has been life changing in itself. Together we spread the word and raise awareness nationwide on the signs, symptoms and effects of child abuse. All it takes is for the right person to take action and take a stand for those who are affected by this unwanted attention.
I was violently raped by my uncle for over a year before I found the courage to tell someone, and it's all because of Dreamcatchers. I was scared no one would believe me. I contacted them and they listened and helped me. They even made the initial police report for me. It's been a very long, emotional and stressful year, but my uncle ws finally prosecuted and went to prison 2months ago. I will never forget what they've done for me. Thank you, Dreamcatchers!
As a survivor, this organization means the world to me. They can answer your questions and concerns about child abuse and neglect. The outreach program they offer through blog talk radio help protect our most valuable asset, our children. Love this org!
I am certified in child abuse and neglect and this is one of the best nonprofit child abuse organizations I have found online. I am very impressed with their work, efficiency and overall execution.
Back in Dec 2011, I was brought on board this team to join their blog talk radio hosts. Since this time I have been connected to the team on a personal level, especially the Founder/Ceo & the President. It is my honor to be involved. This is an amazing organization. The team is sincerely dedicated, they receive no personal financial gain, no salary, but they help educate, prevent, and provide help to all who reach out to them and at any time of day. The Dreamcatchers for Abused Children Non-Profit is the most wonderful and dedicated team I know to creating an end to the cruelty of our children. I am truly and deeply honored to be a volunteer, use my voice in the out-reach program, and promote all that this team is doing. These members are constantly building better ways to help our public in all manners. Highly recommend for Great Non-Profit 2012!!!
I joined the Dreamcatchers Team over a year ago and loved it. I met alot of great people who were willing to help others and trying to make it easier to find resources to prevent child support. You couldn't meet a better group of people! Very helpful and resourceful!
Dreamcatchers For Abused Children has been a non stop information station of the latest abuse stories, names, and alerts. I am in awe of the board members, volunteers and never ending followers. We are a united circle of protection for our children, our neighbor children, and the children with no voices. We are their protectors and its wonderful to be apart of an organization who is so passionate about their safety. I will always love these people for what they do and the love they have in their hearts for all mankind.
I donated to this organization because I believe in their mission. I was sexually abused as a child and this organization is standing up for children's rights and letting the public know about the horrific crimes children are being subjected to. I believe in their cause and will continue to donate every year.
From Nadine-- This organization helped me when no one else would. They supplied me with the necessary resources I was lacking and helped me to finally get justice for my daughter who was being severely abused. I will forever be thankful for Dreamcatchers for Abused Children. They really do care about helping the children.

Hello! My name is Sierra Sullivan, and I am currently the Event Coordinator for Dreamcatchers for Abused Children. Dreamcatchers not only helps people online by spreading awareness, but also by providing resources to those in need. We recently did an Easter basket drive, and were able to provide baskets to every single homeless and abused child living in St. Clair County, Michigan. (The unemployment rate in this town is over 25%- so there is a devastating amount of homeless children here) I just love this organization, and everything that it stands for. I am so proud to call myself a Dreamcatcher!
One of Dreamcatchers goals is to raises the communities awareness surrounding child abuse. They are a voice to the voiceless, a ray of hope in darkness. Another goal of the organization is public education. This could keep them busy until the close of the century. Many parents still do not want to talk about child abuse. Thinking that if they talk about it this will some how bring abuse their way. Dreamcatchers works with churches, law enforcement and schools to provide training for families. I am very supportive of Dreamcatchers and their work. They have the same goal as I do in my prevention work to end child abuse. Child abuse is preventable if parents and children are informed. Please for the safety of your family become informed.

Dreamcatcher's is an organization devoted to reform of abused children. It is time to rally together and be part of the solution! They certainly deserve to be recognized for their efforts by being nominated for top organizations in the Children and Families campaign.
Dreamcatchers is doing great work. I fully support their advocacy efforts 100%. Dreamcatchers is a great group of people that work very well together, for a common cause of protecting children from harm, and have the same interest of changing the laws to better protect children from harm, as we do. We can always trust the information that we get from Dreamcatchers as being accurate, and we can always trust them to be there to help when needed.
I am a huge fan of Dream Catchers for Abused Children. They have so much valuable information on their websites. I visit their site daily and am now reaching out within my own community to spread child abuse awareness. Thank you, Dreamcatchers, for all you do to help the children!!
Dreamcatchers is a trusted and noble organization. I received one-on-one help when I needed it. They assisted me when I would otherwise be without help and provided me with the resources I desperately needed. This is a wonderful organization. I have supported them for many years. The team, staff & volunteers are very dedicated and spend countless hours a week online helping to make a difference.
I am a volunteer and I have been blessed with knowing so many wonderful people that anytime I have a small issue I know that there is someone that will be able to listen to me and advise me. Being a volunteer I want to spread the word to everyone to Stop Child Abuse. And be able to educate others about the signs of abuse,and that there is help out there.There is also help for the victims of abuse. So thank you for giving me that opportunity to be part of a wonderful organization.
Dreamcatchers for Abused Children is an A rated organization. I found myself in dire need of resources to help my family recover from one of the most horrific moments of our lives.... this organization went above and beyond to help me and my family. Thank you, Dreamcatchers, for being there when we needed you the most!
Dreamcatchers for Abused Children has helped me by not only allowing me to find my voice in a world full of silent victims, but they also allow me to be the voice of survivors. Through this reputable organization, I have been able to share my story, educate and support communities, empower youth and continue a personal journey of healing. I love the founder and everything this group stands for! DC has truly changed my life...
I contacted them in hopes of gaining advice on how to help child abuse survivors. They told me to not do any thing! Said to just edit pictures and repost news stories. I don't quite get how that is 501 worthy.
