Sweet Dreams for Kids

Wendy and Dalya and their group have the biggest heart! Sweet Dreams for Kids has made a profound impact on the lives of countless children facing health challenges. The organization's commitment to brightening the hospital experience has resulted in improved morale and enhanced well-being for the kids it serves. While Sweet Dreams for Kids has shown great success, like any non-profit, it faces ongoing challenges related to funding and scalability. Expanding their reach to more hospitals and children in need is a continuous goal that requires sustained support from the community. It is a shining example of a non-profit that addresses a critical need with compassion and efficiency. In conclusion, Sweet Dreams for Kids deserves commendation for its dedication to bringing joy and comfort to children in hospitals. By addressing both the practical and emotional needs of these young patients, the organization is creating a positive and lasting impact on their lives. Supporting Sweet Dreams for Kids is not just an investment in the present well-being of these children but also in a brighter, more hopeful future for them.

This is a wonderful nonprofit that is a family labor of love. When I met the founder by phone through social media, she had no idea of my age. My brother was in the hospital at that time with brain cancer. When she found out, she immediately offered to send him pajamas. I thanked her profusely and explained he was an adult. She continued to be very supportive to me through texts and phone calls. I highly endorse Sweet Dreams for Kids.

Wendy not only made sure my 3 girls would have matching pj’s they would love, but that were able to be used with my youngest’s disability and medical needs. It brought much needed joy during a difficult time for our family, and made us feel cared for with the effort she put in to make sure it was something that worked for all 3 kids.

THANK YOU, Wendy, Dalya and family for Reena's gorgeous purple nightgown!!! This was Reena's third surgery, the second one involving her colon--- she now has an ileostomy which has changed her quality of life significantly. But being a teenager, being in the hospital and recovering from such a surgery was anxiety provoking and Sweet Dreams For Kids is a wonderful comfort! We love you guys!!!

This is an amazing organization. I reached out to them when my daughter was in the hospital and they sent her and her sister some pajamas. It meant so much to me and my family. Wendy is an amazing mother who understands our situation. Sweet Dreams for Kids is an absolutely delightful organization that brings so much joy and comfort to sick children and their families. Thank you so much from our family.

I reached out to Sweet Dreams for Kids when I read their story in a magazine. Our family has recently been affected by illness with our youngest and I thought this would be a little something to give our family some joy at this trying time. I contacted Wendy and she was great with communicating and asking what we were looking for, for whom and even sent pics of the pj's before sending for approval. All 4 of my kids (from age 20 to 6) received their package in record time and had a great surprise (and a little hug) when they saw the package, addressed exclusively for them. Thanks Wendy for adding a little sunshine in our lives.

I’ll never forget the day i met this incredibly passionate family as they walked into my restaurant 8 years ago on a motzei shabbos and still comes back every year when they are in town. The magical energy they bring with them every where they go is unmatchable to any degree. I have worked with several organizations that help children in distress and special needs, but this is by far my favorite. Every one that comes in contact with dahlia, her mom, brother and sister are instantly drawn to them for their never ending commitment to the world that surrounds them. They give everything they have day in and day out to help others, and their selfless acts of kindness never go unnoticed. This is a family that would give you their last smile and shirt off their back if you needed it. May the good lord above continue to bless them, the way they bless all that come in contact with them. Much success to them and all that they do. May future generations remember all that they have done and all they will still do and encourage others to be kind and loving just like they are.
Love you guys to the moon and back,
David Mizrachi

Wendy is so loving and caring and so willing to help anyone in need. When my nephew was in the hospital, she sent pajamas for the whole family even though he already was discharged. She thinks of everyone and everything. She even asked me which pajamas I think the children would like. Thank you Wendy and Sweet Dreams for Kids

An amazing story and mission that brings smiles and comfort to children going through unimaginable times.

A family friend was flying in from overseas for their 3-year-old little girl to be seen by a pediatric cancer specialist at Sloan Kettering in Manhattan, NY. Sweet Dreams for Kids sent brand new pajamas to her Grandma's house in New Jersey so fast that the pajamas were there waiting for her when she arrived. She was so excited to wear her new pajamas that very first night!

Such an amazing organization and amazing people who run it

As a parent who has spent many nights with a child in the hospital, I can say that any thoughtful program like this makes so much difference for a child and their family.

This is an incredible non-profit, dedicated to making the hospital experience of children a little more pleasant.

"Hope is important, because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today."

With that being said...Sweet Dreams for Kids makes and has made so many tomorrows better for so many of the most important people in our world happier, even though they have had to go through devastation..."The Children"

To be able to see the smiles on those children faces when they are brought new Pj's instead of them having to wear hospital gowns, makes them seem to forget why they are there.

This Non-Profit is by far in my opinion, one of the BEST because the individual that runs it, puts everything she has into it....everything is done with LOVE and genuine care and concern. Her beautiful daughter Dalya who this was started for, as well as her other two children have been involved with this from the start. Its truly a family affair and not only does it help the children but we all know when our children are happy so are we.

There is no better caring and loving non-profit than Sweet Dreams for Kids!

As a mom of a child who has spent the greater part of her life in and out of the hospital, I know all too well the challenges that come with that. Receiving a new pair of pajamas on my daughters last admission was heartwarming in so many ways. Of course there is nothing like a cozy clean fresh pajama when you’ve been stuck in a hospital gown but more than that was the feeling that someone cares and someone sees what we are going through and gets how hard it is. Sweet Dreams is an amazing organization and I hope people will donate to allow them to continue such an important job.

Sweet Dreams for Kids went out of the way to find the right size and cozy pj for my daughter! It made us feel human again to get out of the hospital gown. Thanks for the sweet gift ❤️

What an AMAZING charity this is with a wonderful mission that helps bring smiles to all of its recipients! It is run by the most dedicated woman (Wendy) whose goal is to help those in need. Although it is based out of Ohio, Wendy travels to hospitals all over the country to bring her cozy pajamas to sick children to brighten up their stay. Parents and children alike are so grateful for the gift of pajamas at a time when even the little things mean so very much! It gives me great satisfaction knowing that my donations are used to bring smiles and "Sweet Dreams" to kids all over.

Wendy and her family are a gem in this community-- and all communities that are blessed to interact with them! Selfless, loving and dedicated-- makes for an all-star non profit. Founder Dalya is an absolute dream and I can't say enough good thinks about this organization.

So honored to have been part of a transportation train for a Sweet Dreams for Kids package. Wendy keeps costs down by finding volunteers to bring the PJs to children who need them and I was so happy to pitch in. Such an amazing charity!

This organization is so wonderful. My son was hospitalized do to breathing problems and they sent him and his brother pjs so he can feel like home at the hospital. It really cheered my 2 year old up. Thank you so much and please anyone who can support this wonderful cause ❤️

Love this org that does so much good for so many kids!

I cannot say enough good things about this organization, or the people who run it. They go out of their way to make things a little bit easier and more comfortable for children, at a time when they desperately need it. Wonderful people and a wonderful cause.

Sweet Dreams for Kids is an absolutely delightful organization that brings so much joy and comfort to sick children and their families.

There is nothing more beautiful in the world than a child's smile so to me this is the best place to give!

I can not say enough good things about Sweet Dreams for Kids! Besides being so dependably kind, Wendy and her family really give all their endeavors a personal touch! They presented their beautiful work at the youth group I direct and everyone was so blown away by them. I wish I could give them 6 stars!

My daughter was hospitalized to remove a tumor in her leg and Sweet Dreams for Kids brought her and her siblings new pajamas to wear while in the hospital! Their kindness was so needed at the time when we were trying to be positive and help our daughter be as normal as possible, even in the hospital. They are amazing and Wendy is so sweet and caring!!
Love them!

Excellent organization doing inspiring work.
The world is a much better place due to organizations like these and their organizers
A very worthy cause to support!

We received pjs for both our medically complex little one and her superhero big sister. All I can say is that it filled our hearts with so much gratitude! Each time our girlies wear their pjs, we’re reminded of the love our village has for us, and they bring joy to our hearts and smiles to our faces. Thank you! ❤️

Fantastic organization. I can only imagine the happy faces of the recipients. A small gesture, huge return.

I had the pleasure of photographing one of their events. I saw the outpouring of support of her community and although it was a crazy busy day for me I wished I had more time to spend with them.

I worked with this non-profit a few years ago and had an amazing experience. Wendy and her family work very hard to spread joy and comfort to children in hospitals which is made evident by their dedication to the cause. We had the pleasure of helping out with some organizational needs as well as help make a delivery to a hospital. If you are interested in volunteering for or donating to a nonprofit that makes a difference - this is the one!

When my young cousin was in the hospital he was sent pajamas. Such a nice thought. Brighten a sick childs day. Showing that someone cares is such a good deed. Wendy is so sweet to care. May God protect her.

Sweet Dreams for Kids is a wonderful organization, founded and operated by a wonderful family who have brought joy and comfort to hospital children throughout the country. Their dedication to families who are in the shoes in which they once stood, is truly admirable, and I know that those they help, benefit greatly, from the kindness and support of they who have been there.

My 13 year old daughter has been battling a brain tumor since she turned 3. On two different occasions she has received new pj’s from Sweet dreams for kids so she could have something nice of her own to sleep in instead of the hospital gown. Receiving these in the mail put a smile on her face and made her happy when she was in the hospital. I am thankful for the kindness and generosity that helped make her hospital visits a little more comfortable. Thank you!

Wendy is an inspiration to all. By giving pj's to kids in hospitals, they have something to smile about. As soon as Wendy hears of a child in the hospital, she sends them pjs to wear during their stay in the hospital. Wendy is passionate about Sweet Dreams for Kids. It is a wonderful non-profit. I am amazed at how Wendy took the situation her family was in 15 years ago and turned it into Sweet Dreams for Kids to help other kids in the hospital. Keep up the great work Wendy!

When my baby was in a hospital, she was so scared and felt so lonely. Then Wendy came over with Pajamas and she was so happy, she started to feel like a little girl again. Gone where the hospital scrubs and hello to a world of comfy PJ's! It made such a difference in her life I just can't explain. Thank you Wendy!!!!

Our family absolutely loves this nonprofit organization! They gifted my two chronically ill children with beautiful pjs. I highly recommend you support them. They work so hard and they bring so much joy.

It's great to see a non-profit have a single direction and purpose, while at the same time providing a great service - This is one of those. Sweet Dreams for Kids is ran by a wonderful lady who gets pajamas to kids in hospitals so every kid can feel more like a person and less like a patient - What a wonderful idea!

I’m so proud to see what my mom does for others. She always makes the kids smile and happy with their new pajamas. I feel so honored to be her daughter and be the reason she gives back to kids in the hospital. I am a cancer survivor and spent lots of time as a baby in the hospital. My mom never liked to see me in hospital pajamas. She does so much good for others. It’s amazing how Sweet Dreams for Kids started off with a small donations of pajamas to a local hospital. My mom has now donated over 15,000 pairs of pajamas to kids in the hospital world wide. I’m so proud of my mom. Keep doing what you do, I love you so much!

Our DECA chapter raised money for Sweet Dreams for Kids this year and presented the project at our state competition. It was so much fun working as a team/school to raise money and collect pajamas to donate to this wonderful organization knowing children in the hospital will be more comfortable wearing their new pajamas !!

This organization is absolutely incredible! They have provided pajamas for my heart warrior since 2015! They are so special!

Wendy founder of Sweet Dreams for Kids has made two large donations of beautiful P.J.'s to our hospital. Our child life specialists give them out to our pediatric patients to wear during their stay at our hospital. Our families are very appreciative and our patients love the quality of her pajamas. We appreciate and look forward to her continuing donations.

Wonderful organization ran by an amazing leader! My school has now raised money and pajama donations for Sweet Dreams for Kids for the last 5 years and we will continue to donate to this worthy cause. Thank you Wendy for all of your hard work, determination and compassion.

Wonderful organization that brings smiles along with pjs to kids in the hospital.

My girls were so happy to get their pajamas!!! Thank you again!! We got them within 3 days and we were all ready for my 2.5 year olds surgery!!

Sweet dreams for kids is awesome! Wendy reached out to us when she heard my daughter was going through lots of medical drama. We are excitedly awaiting our Pj's which will make our next hospital stay so much more homey & comfy.
What we found in our experience from our countless hospital stays (too many to count) is that doctors and nurses relate to the patient like a 'person' and not as a sick, sick patient when not in the hospital jammies.
So thank you so much to Sweet Dreams for kids! you are creating Sweet Dreams for the entire Family!

So quick and responsive when I reached out to them about my sweet 11 month old nephew. They sent the cutest pajamas to my sister and nephew in a very difficult time when a gesture like this made a world of difference. So much appreciation to everyone involved and what they do!!!

I contacted Sweet Dreams for Kids to get help for children in our unit at the hospital. They sent us a generous supply immediately! The pajamas are helping the kids feel more comforted and less anxious in the hospital giving them normalcy and helping them heal! I highly endorse everything they are doing at the national level to help children and families during their hospital stay and after discharge! Thank You Sweet Dreams for Kids!

Sweet Dreams for Kids is the best!!! I would know first hand because I am Eliana and my sister is the reason why sweet dreams for kids was started. I was only 18 months old when my sister Chaya Dalya was diagnosed with cancer. Me being so little I couldn't understand anything that was going on. In 2008 my family started Sweet dreams and I still was very little. But, as I got older I started learning more about what my sister went through and why sweet dreams for kids was started. My mom is amazing! If I could describe my mom in 3 words I would say she lives to give. Everything is about everyone but herself. My mom has sent over 15,000 pairs of pajamas nationwide! I try to help my mom as much as I can with sweet dreams for kids. I have gone a few times to deliver pajamas at hospitals in St. Louis, Chicago, Minnesota, Iowa, etc. I feel so good after making those deliveries. These kids are fighting for their lives and then when they get some cute and cozy decorative pajamas it really turns their frown into a smile. Not only does it make the kid feel good but I think it also leaves a big impact on the family knowing that someone cares about them and their family on their journey. My mom has really gone out of her way to deliver pajamas, she will go out late at night and go deliver personally to a family in the hospital. The trips to the hospital, storage unit (to get pajamas), and the post office (to send pajamas) are countless. My mom and my family love to put smiles on kids and their family faces that are going through difficult times. Kids, fight! Keep smiling with your pajamas. BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!!! Mom, keep doing what you do!!! I love you!

Wonderful organization! Brought cheer to my daughter with new jammies!!! Truly wonderful organization making those kids who are dealing with issues no kids should feel not so alone!

Quick response when heading inpatient for daughter! She was very excited (and less anxious) about staying overnight with new pj’s -certainly Sweet Dreams!

We still treasured the Pj received during our hospitals visit. Forever thankful for this org.

We absolutely love "Sweet Dreams for Kids" they are a fantastic foundation that gives comfort in pajamas to kids in the hospital.

Our daughter Alexa (@Love4Lexy) Has been fighting brain cancer and NF1 for 14 years of her 15 year old life. She is now blind.
Wendy and her beautiful children reached out and asked if Alexa would like to have a pair of pajamas since she spends most of her life in the hospital. They also offered her brother Cameron a pair. Alexa's 1st P j's were a monkey nightgown that fit her perfectly and she loved it! She wore it until she outgrew it.

Every year SDK checked on us to see if Alexa & Cameron would like another set of
P j's. So they have checked with us and kept up with her as she gets older. She has had 4 pairs of pajamas and her brother as well has had a few. Not only do they send pajamas, the children Send a special note with her name on it and kind words.

For our family, The pajamas aren't just pajamas. When you're in the hospital they are a little piece of home to give you comfort in a scary world of medicine, pain, doctors, and cancer.

Everybody should check out sweet dreams for kids and see how you can bring comfort to children in the hospital. We LOVE Wendy & her Amazing Children they really care they are an awesome foundation. But not just that, they are our "friends"

What an incredible organization! My schools have had the privilege of raising money and collecting pajamas for Sweet Dreams for Kids for the last 4 years. Wendy's story is touching and she is always so grateful for the items we can donate to them. As a parent I know first hand how scary it is for your child to become ill. Knowing that there is an organization out there that is willing to donate their time and resources to make a hospital stay for a child a little bit more comforting is truly amazing! Thank you Sweet Dreams for Kids!!

No words can ever express how inspired I am by the work that sweet dreams and Wendy do for so many sick kids who need help... when we first met, I was truly awe stricken about what Wendy and the entire Sweet Dreams team do for kids who need an extra smile while at the hospital... as someone who sadly lost a father and sister, I knew that making them feel comfortable and at home was something that was super important to me and to them... what sweet dreams does for kids is truly remarkable and the amount of pajamas distributed to kids all over the world is something that cannot go unacknowledged.... I truly have been following the work they do and I am utterly inspired every time I see the smiles they put on kids faces when a new pair of pajamas are delivered to kids in the hospital ... this organization is the real deal and I truly hope they continue their amazing work and get support and make lots of kids happy:) love what all you do and am truly inspired every day.... keep the amazing work going and I am so blessed and humbled to know the family behind Sweet Dreams... your love for others and your unwavering selflessness is truly remarkable... I love you all and wishing you many more years of success in helping the myriads of families and kids who need a warm and comfy pair of pajamas and of course love :)) xoxo Janaya Kerben

We have been so fortunate to be blessed by Wendy and the Sweet Dreams for Kids family. Our son has been fighting cancer for five years and we have had delightful deliveries of cozy pajamas that were perfect for his needs. Not only did they support our son, but the positive boost we got as well was a blessing. We are certain to recommend Sweet Dreams for Kids to other groups looking for a way to support children and families.

Sweet dreams for kids is an absolutely amaizing nonprofit , I reached out to them in hopes that they would be able to send my little girl whom was getting a g tube some pijamas , well they not only sent her some but also sent our three other boys a pair also . We are so very thankful for this in these hard times .

Sweet Dreams for Kids donated PJ's to my friend, her husband who is going through cancer treatment and their 3 kids and this is a message from the family that I had to share: "FYI, hard to get a photo of all of us together...but, I can tell you that he LOVED his PJs so much! I wore mine this week. And, the girls...just got washed up. Please share with your friend (and YOU!) what a wonderful gift this is. We feel very loved, and are very happy you all thought of our family!" Thank you Sweet Dreams for Kids for bringing some joy to a family who is going through a very long and hard battle right now.

Our son, five months at the time, was going in for surgery and Sweet Dreams for Kids came by and donated pajamas to not just our baby, but to his 2 other siblings. Sweet Dreams for Kids wanted to make sure that each of our kids were thought of during this hard time. The creators of this organization are so dear to our hearts and just the sweetest people you will ever be in contact with!!!!! They do so many great things for families going through a hard time.

Such an amazing charity that helps our children. I have been blessed to interact with Wendy on a number of occasions and I can honestly say I have never met someone with such passion for what she does.

I first learned of "Sweet Dreams for Kids" when the organization was featured on a local television show. Wendy's enthusiasm and commitment are contagious. I am the director of a local preschool. For the past 10 years, we have celebrated Mother's Day at our preschool by asking our students to go to the store and, instead of buying a gift for their mother, to purchase a pair of pajamas for a sick child in honor of their mother. Our students and their families have embraced this program. Our preschool "moms" can think of no better way to celebrate Mother's Day! The kids bring the pajamas to school and hang them on a long clothesline in the school's entrance. Since our first successful event, it has become our Mother's Day tradition!

I have had the great privilege of facilitating large pajama donations to support Sweet Dreams For Kids on two separate occasions. Each time, SDFK has expressed such sincere gratitude for my company's support. Wendy and SDFK do this work out of such a genuine place - with such kindness and compassion AND with very minimal resources. If your company is looking for a fabulous organization to support and partner with, I highly recommend SDFK!

I am 14 and I held a pajama drive at my school for this organization, as it directly helps kids with cancer. The school community felt very good to participate in donating, and I was glad to see how well it went and how easy it was to donate. I am so happy that it helps so many kids.

I am a nurse in St Louis. We have been in contact with Wendy with Sweet Dreams for Kids for the last few weeks. Wendy will be making kids in our Children's hospital a little more comfortable when we start our "tuck ins". We can't thank Sweet Dreams for Kids enough for their compassion and generousity! Looking forward to a long connection with them!

There is nothing worse than having your child in the hospital but this company goes above and beyond to ensure that at least your child gets some comfy jammies while they are inpatient..would recommend 100000 times :)

A great family with an amazing purpose! There is nothing better than a pair of cozy pjs when you are stuck in the hospital and feeling icky! Sweet Dreams for Kids has touched so many lives and will continue to for so long! Please, consider donating pj's, or your time, to this great non-profit!

Sweet Dreams for Kids is a wonderful non-profit organization that donates to a great cause. How great it is to put a smile on kids' faces, can't wait to see how much this charity grows!

Great charity! They help lots of children during a scary time in their life.

Great experience working with Wendy and it's a wonderful cause!

really means a lot when in the hospital with a child fighting... helps bring so many smiles to all involved including that sweet child. Thank you sweet dreams for kids for helping so many kids.

Such an amazing charity for children! Bringing smiles to children in hospitals nationwide! We have not only received pjs from them, but also raised money/pjs through a benefit car show for Sweet dreams for kids. We were lucky enough to receive a pair of pjs for my son who had his first surgery. Wendy and her family are truly amazing, and the love they give to others is such a blessing!

Fabulous organization! I really enjoyed working with them and for them over the summer!

I worked with Kidstop in Maple Grove, MN. We donated pajamas and money to this non profit. They were very active in our fundraising, and they were very appreciative and kind

This is an amazing organization run by an incredibly dedicated family. Providing cute and pajamas to kids is such a sweet way to bring a touch of home to kids and to thus make the hospital experience less frightening. It is amazing how many pairs of pajamas have been donated to date. Bringing comfort to young patients and their families is truly a labor of love for this family!

Sweet Dreams for Kids is an amazing Non- Profit. Working with Wendy and her family was such a wonderful experience for me, my staff and the children in our summer program. Wendy was involved from start to finish. She always her family available and was at the site often. We also worked with the University of Minnesota Gopher athletes in helping to contribute to this organization. We held a car wash and numerous bake sales to help contribute. The children in our program were able to see this community service project from start to finish. Some staff and myself will be delivering the PJ's to Children's Hospital in October. Thanks for an amazing opportunity.

Our summer school care program partnered with Sweet Dreams For Kids. The family who runs it is super nice and they came and participated in some of our activities on site. What they are doing is super good for children in hospitals. Keep it up!

The summer program I work at chose Sweet Dreams as our community service project, The success was over the top. The family behind this charity touched our hearts. What a easy way to put a smile on the face of a child in the hospital... with new pajamas!!!!!

Our summer program was involved with "Sweet Dreams" this summer! What a wonderful organization to help kids and make them feel so special! I hope to continue to be a part of such a great and inspirational organization! Thank you so much for starting and sharing this organization!

Our summer program donated to this charity and it was amazing! Our kids had so much fun bringing in new pajamas and getting to see the family behind the charity. It was truly a great experience for our kids and staff. I hope we get the chance to do this again in the future! :) So worth it!

Sweet Dreams for Kids was an amazing charity to help support. The comfort and support that they provide to children facing such a hard road is truly inspiring! The founders were so involved and really showed that they care about the people they are helping!

Sweet dreams for kids is truly an inspiration. Collected PJ and did a bake sale over the summer, was very fun. Thank you for all you do!

We worked with Sweet Dreams this past Summer! Wendy and family are an Inspiration to all! We collected pajamas for this non profit and had bake sales. I encourage others to donate. Can't wait to help distribute the cute PJ'S to the children!

Wendy Berezovsky works so hard to send many pairs of pjs to kids who are sick in the hospital. It is an amazing organization and makes a tremendous effort to send pjs to every single kid!!!!!

Sweet Dreams for Kids is literally an organization built out of love. Wendy used her difficult experiences and turned them into something positive for people going through similar situations. Wendy puts all of her love into this organization and it shows. Her devotion to the cause and helping children feel better by providing them new pajamas when they are sick and in the hospital is what makes Sweet Dreams for Kids such a wonderful organization. Sweet Dreams for Kids is a wonderful nonprofit and its founder, Wendy, is a wonderful individual. All that is done is done out of true love and kindness.

My daughter, Hailey, received a pair of pajamas from Sweet Dreams for kids last year months before she passed away. They are now something we are able to hold close to us to feel her presence. I cannot thank this organization enough for the amazing gift they give to these sick children.

My daughter received 2 pairs of pajamas from this amazing woman.. She received her first pair for a surgery and her second pair for another surgery.. They are amazing and she loved having the comfort of her pajamas right there with her.. It made her happier and made the hospital stay a little better for her...!! They are so friendly and easy to talk to as well.!!

What do you think it means to my daughter, Juliana Carver, who is struggling with cancer for the fourth time since 2007 when she was only five years old and recently received such a special package in the mail. Juliana opened a package from Sweet Dreams for Kids about found a pair of pajamas in her favorite colors. You should have seen the smile on her face. PRICELESS!!

Since Juliana's been sick (half her life) she had had such an amazing attitude but, as her Dad, I can see she's getting tired of being sick. So many children struggle with sickness and never complain...never whine and, out of the blue, some beautiful organization called Sweet Dreams for Kids makes a HUGE difference in a child's day. It is more important than I can express.

Sweet Dreams for Kids not only lifts the hearts of the kids they serve but the family as well.

Thank you Sweet Dreams for Kids for making such a HUGE difference!!

My daughter, Brooke was a recipient not only once, but twice just a few short months ago!! She originally had a scheduled surgery which was only supposed to have a 5 day stay, well she had different plans!! I received a Facebook message asking if if be interested in receiving a pair of comfy Jammie's for her. We arrived home after 11 days and had a package waiting. Brooke's face absolutely lit up as she opened it!! She wanted to wear them right away :). Now onto our second pair!!! After just 3 short days of being home she ended up back in the hospital for another 30 days, enduring yet another surgery. After the first week, I remember chatting with Wendy on Facebook and she offered to send us a second pair!!! I mean what company would do that I thought to myself!! This is absolutely an amazing program Wendy!! I'm happy that I got to share this experience with a few other families while we were there. I will forever be grateful to you Wendy and your amazing Sweet Dreams for Kids program!!!

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by somebody who introduced herself as Wendy from Sweet Dreams for Kids (http://sweetdreamsforkids.org/). I imagine most of you, as I, had never heard of this organization. The organization is based out of Minnesota and what they do is provide thousands upon thousands of brand-new pairs of pajamas for seriously ill children and their siblings. One of their slogans is they want to take the "ick" out of sick. Wendy, the head of this organization reached out to me via email after becoming aware of Izzy's battle on CaringBridge, and stated that she was so touched by the entire story that she wanted to send us a pair of pajamas for Izzy and for his siblings as well. It sounds like a little gesture but her words of encouragement to me were anything but "little." She is yet another one of the many good Samaritans that exist in this world, committed to assisting families during times of medical crises and need; wanting to make a positive difference in the lives of the affected. Yesterday, when the door bell rang during dinner, Roovy sprung up to answer the door and received a package that contained four brand-new pairs of pajamas; each sized appropriately for our four children. After dinner Roovy and Batya expressed excitement when changing into their new pajamas, and were both enthralled with their new gift. One of the many things I've learned throughout this journey is that the "little" things are not little at all, and sometimes make all the difference in the world. What captivated me was in that box with the pajamas was a colorful, hand written note to Izzy, that read; "Thinking of you Izzy with love from Sweet Dreams for Kids" (I will post that picture as well, on caringBridge). As I have just pontificated, the so-called "little" things in life are anything but "little." Sweet Dreams for kids is yet another organization that attempts to put smiles upon the faces of those whose lives have been turned in upheaval, due the serious illness of a sibling. I recommend that each and everyone of you visit their website (http://sweetdreamsforkids.org/) and if possible, provide them with financial assistance, so that they can continue to provide this invaluable service to families such as mine.

What is better than an organization who does nice things for children who are in the hospital? It is such a stressful time for families when young children are sick, especially when they are in an extended stay situation. Putting pajamas on a child is such a little thing and brings such unfettered joy. We should all be giving to this organization to make it easier for doing their work. I'm so glad that I know about this organization and how easy it is to serve this fragile audience. Thank you Wendy for all that you are— and better yet, all that you do.

Since meeting Wendy and her family, I can't help but admire how she has not only provided new pajamas for kids with illnesses, but taught her children the priceless gift of giving! Kudos Wendy!!!

This is a wonderful organization that is so giving to many many children around the world.

Once again we blessed to receive pj's from Sweet Dream for kids for Sari's hospital stay. Thank you so much!!

I came across Sweet Dreams for Children, after my 5 week old daughter spent an extended stay in the hospital. It has always been a joy to see the updates on what they are doing, and that Wendy (the founder) has faced similar health challenges with her children and has found away to bring light to an area that can be so dark. After my Daughter had surgery at the age of 22 months, we did a pajama drive in her honor. So many people we knew and didnt know, all around the world donated pajamas. After my daughter recovered from her surgery, Wendy sent us stickers to put on the Pajamas and we delivered them to the Childrens Hospital on behalf of Sweet Dreams for Children. It was nice to share what Sweet Dreams for Children does for children.

With much gratitude to Wendy Berezovsky and her family for all their work in establishing this unique organization that brings so many smiles to hospitalized children with the most basic simple comfort of life--cozy and warm PJ's. May their efforts continue to go from strength to strength.

my son was born 15 weeks early & this group is sending him a brand new pair of PJ's for him to wear in the hosptial FOR FREE! they are awesome!

As a teen I had leukemia and spent MONTHS in the hospital, having our own 'clothes' was one of the few "regular' things that we got in moments when our lives were upside down and literally on the edge of death. This organization realizes how much a 'simple' pair of pjs can brighten the day of a child who's entire world is in turmoil.
WHAT A WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION!!!! SO proud to be a donor and to be part of making the lives of sick children a little bit brighter!!!

My infant nephew received some great pajamas while in the hospital for an unexpectedly long stay. A lot of other kids on his surgical floor at Amplatz Children's Hospital also got pajamas from Sweet Dreams for Kids that same day. They were all so excited! It seems like a small thing, but having cozy real pajamas can really bring a sense or normalcy and comfort. Thank you!

I am no one special. my children are healthy. I have no need to even know this organization. Yet I do because I love children and what things organization does amazes me. They give of their time, energy, money but most of all their heart. Thank you for all you do. I know the kids and the parents appreciate you so much. Keep up the awesome job.

It is so amazing to see such happy faces when the children get a special pair of pajamas to help their hospital time pass a bit more comfortably. Thank you for all you do Sweet Dreams for Kids! You really make a difference to so many who often have extensive stays at the hospital and so little to smile about while dealing with cancer! Job well done!

Thank you so much for all that you do for our kids with such a sweet gesture. When we are in the hospital and it is so scary for my daughter, gifts from givers like yourselves make each day that much easier. Keep up the great work. Hugs to you and yours!

my 7 yr old son was Diagnosed with stage 4 wilms tumor. i found Sweet Dreams for Kids.Jacob received a pair of Monkey P.J.he was so very happy to have gotten them and he still wears them at least once a week .Thank you Sweet Dreams for Kids.Jacob nor i will ever forget you for being so kind and caring for are sick Children

Love this organization. They have been able to help my student council raise money so we could purchase pjs to be donated to our local children's hospital. Her organization was able to help us find who we needed to contact and what was needed. They provide for children who spend their days in the hospital to have something special.

I emailed them about my daughter being in the hospital. They replied quickly and sent my daughter some pjs out. I think it's a great thing they're doing. I would recommend them to others. My daughter showed a nurse and she wants to donate some pjs. Thanks for all y'all do. Keep making kids days.

This is the best thing for sick children. If you ever known a child that has cancer or if the child has a sickness anything that can bring a small amount of happiness is a great organzation.

do not like this organization at all. only 4 cancer kids, does nto work in my book.

Thank you so much to the wonderful Wendy Berezovsky for her work bringing smiles and warm PJs to kids in the hospital all over the United States!! We have been to pleased to be able to donate to this organization by collecting PJs instead of gifts at my daughter's 8th birthday party!

When I see pictures of the smiling children in their pajamas it makes me realize that this organization can truly brighten an ill child's day and it brings so much joy to my heart.

Awesome organization. As a mom of a child who spent 2.5 months in the hospital, PJs are such an easy and practical way to cheer up a child who spends so many hours in bed. I've donated to Sweet Dreams for Kids and wish I had more money to donate too.

Sweet Dreams for kids is one of those organizations that seem like they're doing a small favor, but in reality, it's a huge help for the kids to feel a little "homey" while being surrounded by white, sterile machines. I had the privilege of volunteering with them and it felt good to see the smiling faces looking back at me while I gave them the pajamas.

We love Sweet Dreams for KIds! My son is undergoing open heart surgery and will have a long stay in the hospital. Sweet Dreams for Kids sent him a pair of pajamas and he loves them. Thanks to them he will have a little comfort and knowledge that someone truly cares how is his doing. Thank you Sweet Dreams for Kids!!!

This organization is an act of love! The pajamas that are given are wonderful and families benefit from donating and teaching kids about helping others!

This is an amazing organization. They sent my son pajamas to wear while in the hospital. It means so much for a stranger to think so much of others. They put smiles on the faces of families in their hardest times!!

I love this organization!! I recently requested that 3 pairs of pajamas be sent to 3 cancer patients staying at Why Me-Sherry's House in Worcester Ma and they received them in just a few short days! the kids love getting them! Thank you Sweet Dreams for Kids for being so wonderful to the kids!!

This organization is run with passion and dedication by one of the most amazing volunteers I have encountered in a 35-year nonprofit career. For sick children in hospitals to receive new pajamas, to be able to shed their hospital gowns, provides a small degree of normalcy in a situation which is often upside-down. Sweet Dreams for Kids, run locally out of Minneapolis, reaches children throughout the country and brings much-needed comfort to families of children in hospitals.

My son was only a couple of months old when I heard about Sweet Dreams for Kids. We were in and out of the Picu constantly. He was born with Down Syndrome, along with an Asd, a hemangioma in his liver, and pulmonary hypertension. The hemangioma ended up needing some surgeries to stop damage it was causing to his heart so we ended up with even more hospitalizations. I spoke with Sweet Dreams for Kids about getting him some jammies he could wear during long stays (when they allowed him to wear them). She was just as pleasant as can be and I just loved communicating with her. I instantly fell in love with this place because of how well I personally was treated. I couldn't decided which kind of jammies I liked most for my son so she picked out a cute pair for me, and even sent me a spare! I cried when I got his package, I was truly touched by the kindness of this group. I highly recommend this non profit group to everyone who has a child in the hospital and wants to get them something cute and comfy they can wear during their stay. My son has finally outgrown his, but I am keeping his jammies stored away to remind us of the kindness of others during our very hard times. He is finally 10 months old and has been out of the hospital for almost 2 full months. THANK YOU SWEET DREAMS FOR KIDS! I will forever remember and support you and your group.

hi, i requested pjs for my daughter who was in the hospital for a long period of time, and her nightgown was received within a week!! love this group!

Yes Wendy is very very great to do this for the kids she gave my 2 Lil girls a night outfit cause they both have hospital stays and they were so happy not to have to wear those hospital gowns way to go Wendy then my Lil nephew got burned up pretty bad and she also sent him a night outfit also she is really sweet and really cares for these Lil children I think what she does is great

Sweet Dreams For Kids is an amazing organization! By providing pajamas to sick children in the hospital, they bring smiles and comfort to the children they serve. Wendy works tirelessly to deliver pajamas to children near and far.

Wendy is an amazing woman She has worked passionately to make sure all childrend who go to the hospital and taken care of. Sweet Dreams for Kids as an amazing organization that helps ALL children.

When Sweet Dreams for Kids bring PJs to Children's Hospitals our kids get a bit of home in their hospital rooms. Sometimes they get to pick their favorite color or character and this really brings a smile to their faces! Last spring we did a (2) hospital wide Pajama party with a "slumber party" theme broadcast from the Children's Star Studio which was so much fun for all of our patients and families, thanks to the donations from this non-profit and coordination with hospital staff. What a great way to give back to a hospital that holds a place in the heart of a generous family!

Sweet Dreams for Kids is an amazing organization we've just started working with. Wendy and her family are an inspiration--- helping children who are sick in the hospital! We feel very fortunate to be able to donate to this great cause and look forward to working with them in the future!!

I work at Amplatz in the Emergency Department and have the opportunity to provide kids being admitted with a pair of comfy pj's from Sweet Dreams. These pajamas help these children and teens have something comfortable to wear and provide comfort and familiarity to what is often an uncomfortable and unfamiliar environment. We are so grateful to receive donations from Sweet Dreams- these pajamas do certainly make a difference!

We've been working with Wendy and Sweet Dreams for many year's and the comfort and joy it brings our patients and families is magical. We appreciate this amazing resource for our hospital.

AMAZING organation, we requested a pair of PJs for my son, and when they sisnt have the rignt size, she personaly took her kids to the store and found a pair that would fit my son to help brighted his day! Fills my heart with joy to know there are such wonderful people out there trying to make these sick kids feel beter however they can!

My 9 month old grandson received a pair of pajamas from this organization last Christmas while in the hospital for his open heart surgery. He may not have realized what a nice gift this was, but his parents and grandparents sure did. He looked so cute Christmas morning with his new pajamas. This kind gift helped heal the entire family. They have inspired me to give back to my community.

I've seen this organization bring smiles and a cozy nights sleep to children who really need them! Children who are fighting for their lives and need comfort in a world of hard times!

Their donation of new pajamas to kids while sick in the hospital is a great idea. The smiles they bring are irreplaceable. Sweet Dreams for Kids is a great nonprofit organization that makes a difference in the lives of many.

I donated pajamas to Sweet Dreams for Kids in a child's name that I personally knew, who has been fighting a form of leukemia himself. They not only sent me a personalized thank you note, but they sent my friend's son a brand new pair of pajamas as well!! He was ecstatic!! Thank you Sweet Dreams for Kids for putting smiles on children's faces, and warming their parent's hearts!

I have a friend who's son has been in and out of the hospital since birth, due to a congenital heart defect. She decided to do a pajama drive to show gratitude for Sweet Dream's and what they did for her son. This is such a simple and inexpensive idea that can be so meaningful to a child. To be able to share this feeling of being home and comfortable, something never gave any thought to, until now. It warms my heart to know that the children who have no choice but to call the hospital home for the holidays, will be a little more comfortable in pajamas given with love and hope. What a wonderful ministry!

This organization is wonderful because so many kids in hospitals aren't happy and are bored. These pajamas can really brighten their day up and make them forget about whats happening in the hospital.

My 2 year old, Cayden Jae has Neurofibromatosis..and has been in and out of the hospital. I have to say children who face a hospital stay often have many fears which stem from isolation and unfamiliar surroundings. Gifts like from Sweet Dreams for Kids helps to bring a bit of home into the sterile environment of the hospital, making it a less scary place. These types of gifts also provide needed distractions from the pain or boredom associated with the hospital stay. Some kids must stay in the hospital for extended periods but remain quite mobile and active, at least if this is the issue they can still be comfortable while doing so. Getting useful or decorative items when their condition prohibits any activity helps alot. As a mother with a little one that has been hospitalized several times I can say that items such as pajamas, socks, slippers, brushes and toiletries help even if the child remains unable to be active. A funny pair of socks or slippers and some new character pajamas may brighten their day while they are confined to a hospital bed. I love Sweet Dreams for Kids and plan to share with everyone I can on Facebook and let them know that this is available to them if they need it!! Keep up the incredible work Sweet Dreams!!

An incredible organization! The dedication, the smiles, the impact.

Sweet Dreams for Kids helps so many kids feel a little beter during difficult times. It sure puts smiles on peoples faces. It is an amazing organization.

This is a great organization. They make HUGE smiles on the faces of ill kids, hospitalized. The kids dont have to wear the ugly hospital gowns! My hats off to them. Seeing the faces that they give the kids, I sure hope that when my son gets his PJ's he will smile as much too!!

There are good people in this world, and then there are AMAZING people. This family falls in the amazing category. I am a mother of 4 and I know how much my kids LOVE their pajamas, and I've also spent 10+ days in the hospital with sick children. ANY sort of gift that can make your child smile through their pain is worth it's weight in gold. Sweet Dreams For Kids not only gives the kiddos a present but brings a little bit of normalcy to a foreign and often uncomfortable few days. I wish there were more people in this world like the family behind SD4K!

As someone who has long worked in non-profit, I am always most pleased to see a non-profit that manages to do great things, with little administrative cost. Sweet Dreams for Kids is exactly such an impressive operation, in that a family started it as a family project, and continues to run largely as such, despite the fact that the impact of their (now not so little) operation is well into the thousands of clients served, all over the country. Having started as a family project, in direct response to their own child having spent years in hospital gowns, Sweet Dreams for Kids continues to collect brand new pajamas and donate them to pediatric treatment facilities, through generous PJ drive volunteers all over the country, so that ill children can have the sweet dreams that comfy PJs bring. Wendy, the driving force behind SDFK, can turn any willing volunteer into a successful PJ Drive Volunteer Admin, and indeed this Minnesota based charity has put PJs on hospitalized children, far and wide, from California to Virginia, Minnesota to Texas. Schools, youth groups and worksites have all joined in this great work, and truly the limiting factor to PJ drives is only the imagination of someone wishing to help, so if this sounds like a great charity to you, just do it! Contact SDFK and learn how to conduct a PJ drive that will help hundreds of children in your own area to smile!
