Year after year, month over month this organization has blessed our Foster children in care. From monetary donations to help bring normalcy to the kids lives after being abused and ripped from their families, to clothing from Ralph Lauren and shoes from Famous Footwear. We have donated laptops to high schoolers, supported playing sports by paying for entrance fees, drivers ed classes, travel to allow families to reunite in the mainland with aunts or uncles willing to take them in and foster to a better life. We have had graduation celebrations and honored each attendee with the ability to apply for grants to help them go to college. All of these things and many more are ways that allow us to bring joy and some peace to these children's lives after the majority have spent their lives to date abused, neglected and some left on the streets with no where to turn. Ticket to Dream is the perfect name for an organization that allows our kids to do just that....Dream Big and know that there are people out there who care. Thank you Ticket ToDream, we don't know what we would do without you!
Every year Ticket to Dream provides our little non-profit, Homes of Hope, with essentials, money, holiday gifts and back to school supplies. This in turn helps us care for and support the foster families we serve in our community. We thank TTD on behalf of these vulnerable children and youth! These wonderful donations help them feel Seen, Heard and Valued!

Ticket to Dream Foundation has made a monumental impact on the foster children at Angels' Arms.

We often share the impact Ticket to Dream has made on the foster community by sharing the sheer volume of lives they have touched. But, you rarely get to see what happens because of your gift. Yes, 3,600 kids got a backpack this year – but most importantly...
We received a thank you from a foster teen who received a “Birthday Dreams” gift for her 17th birthday. She wrote, “The most exciting part of my birthday was realizing that I’m having a birthday for the first time in 7-8 years.” Imagine how powerful that moment was for her. They have done this. Ticket to Dream's support is about more than gifts and bikes. It’s about helping a child who hasn’t been celebrated in 7-8 years know that she matters.
Thank you for being a #FosterAlly!

Last month, a foster family came to visit our resource center to get beds, clothes, and back-to-school gear for their foster children. During the visit, we learned that their young man has been battling brain cancer. It was thankfully in remission but his poor soul was just run down. Because of an amazing grant from Ticket to Dream to fund summer fun for children in foster care we were able to treat this whole family to a day of fun at a local indoor adventure center called Main Event. Because of you, this young man and his whole family got to forget just for a little while and have fun again. We cannot thank you enough!
Ticket to Dream has been instrumental in providing essentials to children in foster care across Arizona.

Turning Points for Children in Philadelphia has over 650 children and youth in our foster care program and 100 in our program for youth who age out of care. We have nothing but LOVE for Ticket to Dream. They have connected us to great local partners like Famous Footware, they have help fund pilot programs and new iniatives and are constantly providing items to give out to those under our care.
We started partnering with the Ticket to Dream Foundation in 2017 and it has been a perfect match. They always make joint projects easy to nevigate and really understand the foster care community.
During our annual Friendsgiving celebration for those in Turning Points older youth programs, my heart was filled with joy as a 20-year-old former foster care young person hug her case worker with tears in her eyes saying: “did you get me all this?”
She had just opened a bag with make-up, toiletries, a lovely winter blanket and new headphones. Danielle, her case worker said that Ticket to Dream had gaven her the gifts and the young lady replied, “I didn’t know that people cared about me.”
It is hard to express the gratitude we have for the Ticket to Dream Foundation. The Foundation has really made a difference to so many foster children and youth in Philadelphia. Turning Points is extremely grateful to have Ticket to Dream as a partner to help us better serve those in our city who are often overlooked and forgotten.

Because of TTD, The Villages of Indiana can truly uplift and support the families who are making tremendous sacrifices each and every day.

Ticket to Dream provides dignity and confidence to the youth we serve in foster care. Often times these kids have nothing when removed from their homes. To be able to receive new items including clothing, toiletries, backpacks, and laptops, makes a world of difference. The opportunity to feel normal and fit in is huge to someone who has experienced the trauma of neglect and abuse, and being removed from their family. We can't thank Ticket to Dream enough for their generosity, collaboration, and ingenuity. Because of them, we can continue to provide comfort and hope to the most vulnerable of children.

Ticket to Dream Foundation has been our most dedicated partner, providing critical supplies and funding for our foster children. I can't speak highly enough of the tremendous work they do!
My agency has partnered with Ticket To Dream for many years and as a result, more than 175 children/youth in kinship care as well as 75 former foster youth (in our transitional housing program) has benefited for the generous donations. What's exciting is that as a program director, I think in terms of practical items (school supplies, pajamas, socks, etc.); however, the children and youth, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all of the SOCKS (our older youth really wanted to wear the Sesame Street Bombas socks)!!! We are excited to have access to empowerment seminars, Project Glimmer classes, hygiene and skin care products, shoes, diapers, and financial grants to support special cultural and ethnic programming. When our youth receive gift cards that have a handwritten greeting card for the holidays and graduation, they feel very special and appreciate the fact that someone has taken notice of them. It's always exciting to receive an email from Kayla White with information about a donation and the offerings are always timely. We are serving a lot of infants who are living with their grandmothers and a recent diaper donation was perfect for them as they were waiting foster care benefits. I appreciate the surveys that are used to determine our needs as well as plans for programs/services that meet the diverse needs of our kinship and foster care children/youth. Finally, it's always great to receive a gift card for coffee/tea to honor staff who work with the children/youth.
Ticket To Dream has a focus on supporting organizations that support children/youth in foster and kinship care. They help to fill in the gaps we are not often funded to provided. Once last thing, Ticket To Dream provided an abundance of face masks during Covid and prior to shut down, we received laptops to support our high school and college students.

Ticket to Dream is an amazing organization! They continually go above and beyond to provide support to the children and youth we serve. Over the many years we have been fortunate to work with them, they have provided funding that has allowed us to purchase much needed items for back to school needs, as well as the fun stuff like funky keychains and trendy water bottles - which every kiddo deserves, to funding our efforts to support our LGBTQ+ youth to helping us make holiday wishes come true with a generous grant, and in so many other ways too. By joining with donors they have been thoughtful in making our program better by not only thinking of the big ways growing up in foster care has an impact on children and youth, but by also recognizing that often the little things can have a signigificant impact. Our state is charged with providing a minimum sufficient level of care, but TDD knows children and youth need and deserve more. Thank you TDD!

There is NO foundation like Ticket to Dream. I work at a foster care agency in Minneapolis, Minnesota and we have been partnering with TTD over the last handful of years. In my 15 years in the field, I can say, without a doubt, that TTD is absolutely FIVE STARS. There is no foundation that centers kids and families as thoughtfully and intentionally as TTD. They are constantly seeking feedback and listening to the needs of the community. They prioritize JOY in kids lives through donations that bring the biggest smiles I've ever seen to their faces. They ease stress on foster and kinship families. And they have fun doing it, as their team is always so dang awesome to work with.

There are NO words to ever describe what magic Ticket to Dream brings to the lives of our kids in care. I am honestly getting goosebumps just writing this. I am the Executive Director of a private foster care agency in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Our agency has been operating for 45 years. I can say, without hesitation, that TTD is the most supportive foundation we have ever and the privilege of receiving support from. To say TTD "gets it," would be an understatement. The foundation goes above and beyond to fill important funding gaps for our kids in-care - always staying ahead of the curve to fund and support initiatives for kids that includes ALL the wide ranging experiences and identities of children in foster care. The material donations are, as the kids say, FIRE, and the monetary funding makes SUCH a big difference in the way our organization is able to implement specific programming and reach specific populations of kids and families. We adore and love our TTD team. Their staff are the kindest and most welcoming. And there, simply put, isn't a better group around. Sending SO MUCH love and appreciation from Minnesota. :)

Ticket to Dream’s support of Arrow Child & Family Ministries, is an exceptional partnership that goes above and beyond just giving to foster children and youth. Their dedication to providing outstanding resources and opportunities for these children is truly inspiring. From basic needs like school supplies and diapers to educational initiatives and even life-enriching cultural experiences, Ticket to Dream ensures that foster children and youth have the tools they need to thrive.
What stands out most about the program is its holistic approach—recognizing that children in foster care need basic necessities, emotional support, and opportunities for personal and cultural growth. Arrow Child & Family Ministries’ commitment to helping children heal from trauma and build positive, trusting relationships is beautifully aligned with Ticket to Dream’s mission. The two organizations together are making a real difference, giving foster children the chance to dream and believe in a brighter future.
The impact of the partnership is profound and far-reaching. It has surpassed our expectations. It's not just about the material items they provide, but the way they uplift and empower children to see their worth. The foster parents are also encouraged to know that they have a community of people lifting them up so they can continue caring for these kids. Ticket to Dream’s work is truly inspiring, and I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone looking to support children and youth in foster care and contribute to a better future for vulnerable children. Thank you, TTD!
They are AMAZING! We are always so thankful for Ticket to Dream with supporting our organization year after year with all sorts of essential and critical needs to help the youth in our community continue growing and thriving!

For years, Ticket To Dream has been supporting the youth and families we serve in the foster care system. We serve a diverse age range and population, so we love the diversity of their donations! The ease of filling out a form at the beginning of the year (maybe one or two during the year) and then receiving "surprise" donations of brand name socks, underwear, clothing, diapers and baby items, school supplies, hot holiday toys and more throughout the year is really exciting for our staff and clients! Their relationships with large companies like Famous Footwear benefits the entire community and we're so happy to be TTD partners.

I can honestly say I don't know how we would have made it without Ticket to Dream. Our foster/adopted children have received all the necessary things that they needed, as well as many of their wants. TTD and their partners have provided Ennis Center for Children with clothes, coats, boots, diapers, wipes, electronic devises, school supplies, extracurricular activity funds, educational support, bedding funds, holiday gifts including toys, support youth aging out of foster care, including those attending college/trade school and so much more. Thank you TTD for making DREAMS come true.
Because of TTD and their generous partners many of our youth in foster care have learned how to swim, participate in school sports, gymnastics, horseback riding, karate classes, camp, tutoring and many more activities. What we have noticed about them participating in these activities is that they are more confident, making better choices and work well with others/groups. Their outlook in life is so much greater than it was before they were given the opportunity to participant.
A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to TTD and their partners. You have made a MAJOR difference in the lives of children in foster care. There are not enough stars in the universe to rate the impact that you made with our children and families. Thank you!
Ticket to Dream has been an instrumental supporter of the nonprofit I work for. They have helped us provide well for families at back to school time, they've given us high quality clothing and shoes, they provide grant funding for older youth in foster care to help support their transition into adulthood, they've provided quality supplies for infants and toddlers... the list is truly endless. I am SO grateful for them in my role, and so grateful for not only the support they provide but for the longevity of their support. Year after year, they show up for us so we can keep showing up for families experiencing foster care!

They help us make what might not be the most ideal situation a much better one and give some joy to those who receive.

Without their generous contributions we would not be able to assist in providing neglected or abused children clothing, shoes, soccer equipment, the list goes on and on.

She cried when we presented it to her and just kept saying thank you over and over.

In my 22 years working with children in foster care I have never seen an organization provide the level of support like Ticket to Dream does. They listen very carefully to the organizations that are on the frontline and are able to tailor their support to the needs of children we support. The quality of the items they send to us are impeccable and the kids get so excited to be able to "shop" for brand new items that make them feel special and just like any other peer around them. They are also exceptional about providing funding that lets us meet the unique needs of some of the kids we serve. That kind of flexibility in funding is rare and so important. When I give them updates on experiences kids had because of that funding, or reactions to items that our kids received it is obvious that they care so deeply for these kids. It's been a DREAM working with them and we are so grateful for their support.

It's hard to know where to begin with all of the amazing resources and opportunities Ticket to Dream has brought to the youth we care for at The Felix Organization. From school supplies, to swim suits, I feel like our kids are always being treated to something special they can hold and use, and know that someone out there cares for them. Equally remarkable are the opportunities that Ticket to Dream's funding provides our youth. The kids get to attend sleep away camp, enjoy holiday events and gifts, get out of their neighborhoods and comfort zones and see the wider world out there. None of this would be possible without the dedication and support of Ticket to Dream. They have brought so much joy and inspiration to children who need it, and I can't wait to see what they do next!
I love working with the Ticket To Dream Foundation. They have provided us with so many wonderful opportunities that we can give to children in the foster care system. Thank you so much Ticket to Dream Foundation for being such a wonderful organization to work with.
The Ticket to Dream Foundation, its corporate partners, most especially Kayla White, have been a tremendous support to our Association. This organization supports foster children and children in relative placement, kinship care and fictive kin here in NH. We have seen the faces of graduating seniors so excited to get make-up, gift cards, socks, and so many other items! Ticke to Dream has helped us fund camp experiences, clothing, recreational activities and equipment for youth who may not have had this opportunity otherwise. Supporting the youth with laptops was HUGE! Our Association cannot say enough Thank Yous or kind words to express our sincere honor and gratitude to Ticket to Dream for all they have done for so many families here in NH.

Thank You Ticket to Dream! CASA of Merced County works with foster youth, we provide advocacy and a voice for the child in court as well as a constant adult in the child's life. Thanks to Ticket to Dream we are able to provide our kiddos with much needs items such as clothes, shoes, socks, personal hygiene items. Not to mention funds for "normalcy" activities to help our children have fun memories. I wish you could see the smile on the face of a child receiving something simple as a pair of socks. Today we had a child come in to the office, she was very sad. We took her "shopping" in our kids closet (that exists thanks to Ticket to Dream). She left with a smile on her face and some great new clothes.

Our partnership with the Ticket to Dream foundation has enhanced the way we are able to support foster youth. Their dedication to children in foster care is undeniable and you'll see that in all interactions. TTD have gone above and beyond to show these kiddos that they matter and they deserve to have and experience what every other child has.
Ticket to Dream has allowed The Buckeye Ranch in Ohio the ability to provide the "extras" to our foster children and families that every child should have. Through their generous financial and physical item donations we are able to ensure that each the foster children in our care get to experience "normalcy" while they are going through such a tumultuous time in their life. Just this summer alone our foster youth have been able to go to sports camps, take swim lessons, and prepare for going back to school - all thanks to Ticket to Dream and their immense generosity.
For many years Ticket to Dream has been a valued partner to our organization - providing financial and in-kind supports that help us ensure our foster youth have every possible opportunity to thrive to their full potential. While there are countless ways I could share about the tremendous impact they make, the one I share below continues to be uniquely special.
In late November of 2021, a sibling group of seven children, ranging in age from 4 years old to 14 years old came into the care of our Foster Care program. Those of us in field know that keeping sibling groups together is always best for the youth. But it can be challenging and a sibling group of seven even more so. The dedicated and passionate social workers in our program were able to identify a Foster Mother they felt would be the perfect match - only she had "retired" from being a foster parent in the past year and there was uncertainty if she would have the resources needed to welcome seven children. Knowing we were still in the throws of the pandemic added more concern.
In a moment of perfection, it was at this same time that Ticket to Dream granted us funding to support our foster youth during the end of year holidays. Acting quickly, my team who normally holds a behind the scenes role, chose to forgo our holiday party - opting instead to secure everything the foster mom and seven siblings would need.
Thanks to the immense generosity of Ticket to Dream we were able to purchase bunk beds and bedding, bath towels and laundry baskets, clothing and jackets, pajamas and underwear, socks and shoes, holiday gifts and school supplies, cookware and serving utensils, cleaning products and essentials for sanitization, and so much more.
Ticket to Dream made it possible so that when the sibling group came to the Foster Mother's home each of them had their own unique space complete with everything they needed so they felt welcomed, safe, and cared about. Ticket to Dream made it possible for our Foster Mother to focus all of her energy and attention on providing loving care and support to the children by removing any concerns about her ability to prepare meals and meet basic needs.
While it may sound at surface level like these physical items were the impact made - the reality, as we know in foster care, is the impact was so much more than that. In fulfilling the eldest daughter's holiday list her top wish was to stay close to/not forget members of her birth family. With the funding we received we were able to purchase a polaroid camera, film, and string lights with clips on them. After receiving the camera her Foster Mother shared what a powerful source of healing and hope that was for her - as she was able to surround herself with pictures that she excitedly shared with her Foster Mother, helping them build a strong connection of understanding and trust.
Children thrive best when they are connected to adults who provide nurturing care. As I stated in the beginning this is only one story of how Ticket to Dream is transforming lives and futures. But it's a truly moving example of how in working together we can provide the best possible care for foster youth and we couldn't be more grateful.
Ticket to Dream has been a great partner for us! They constantly are providing for our kids in fun ways that just allow them to be kids. We always look forward to hearing from them.
Ticket to Dream and their partners have continued to exceed our expectations! We receive shoes, socks, clothing, computers, graduation gifts and generous checks that allow us to purchase just what the children we serve need. The team here at the Wichita Children's Home is SO thankful for this amazing partnership and generosity that helps us help children! They have been remarkable!
Maryhurst is one of the many organizations that Ticket to Dream supporters. We, as an agency, can not say enough about the impact that Ticket to Dream is making on the kids that we serve. In Kentucky, a state with a top-five child abuse rate, Maryhurst is saving kids’ lives. Our work prevents abuse, restores hope, and empowers survivors. Ticket to Dream provides truly unique opportunities to our kids. They have a true art of focusing on aspects of care that others would overlook. We could not be more thankful for our partnership with Ticket to Dream!
Here at Inspiritus, our families and youth has been blessed by all the resources provided by TTD! Ticket to Dream provided laptops for our youth at the beginning of the pandemic and continues to support our youth through donations of face masks, clothing, shoes, holiday gifts, and funding for essentials, education, and 1st night supplies. We are so grateful to be in partnership with this great organization whose mission is to support youth in foster care! They are an invaluable resource for this community!

Ticket to Dream is absolutely phenomenal. They have supported our foster youth in so many incredible ways. The generosity of this organization allows agencies like mine to support the children and young adults in our programs in ways we never do without their help.

It isn’t only financial assistance, they and their partners help with socks, clothing, shoes, graduation gifts, and so much more. This organization is a very real blessing and their support is allowing so many children opportunities they may never have experienced without though them. Thank you Ticket to Dream!!!

I wish everyone could see the looks on foster children's faces when they receive an item; it could be a coat, pjs, toys... that we received from Ticket to Dream Foundation. It often means that they have clean/unstained clothing, it often means that they have clothes/shoes that are not too big or too small, it is often the first time they have received a new toy.
The work that they do "behind the scene" to ensure that foster children have items that they need. It increases the child's self respect and confidence.
We are the lucky ones, that gets to see the difference that Ticket to Dream Foundation makes.
Thank you for making such a huge difference in a child's life!!!

Their fun celebratory donations have allowed us an opportunity to provide a "fun" day for kids and their families at no cost or strings attached....just a small time to step out of the hard place and enjoy the moment! The donations have allowed us access to families to have conversations and encouragement to them. Reminding them that they are not alone in the foster journey. The children/young adults are amazed that they are cared for and thought of by folks that have never met them and yet give to them.

We provide essential items to foster, kinship, and adoptive families for the children in their homes because every child deserves to be valued.

We have received in-kind donations such as back-to-school items, shoes, socks, accessories, clothing...everything that the children we support can use.
We rely on donated items, so to be able to receive brand new higher-ticket items from stores like Famous Footwear, Bombas, and Justice to name a few have been so wonderful for the children in care to benefit from. We're really excited for what the future holds and honor our relationship with TTD. We are grateful for our partnership a whole state away!

Ticket to Dream Foundation has been instrumental in orchestrating and distributing donations that make a world of different to our kids in foster care. We believe that all children should enjoy new, brand name items that other children in school have. CASA children carry the entire world on their shoulders and fitting in at school, looking like all the other children, makes such a difference to them. It is one less thing for them to worry about. We so appreciate the support Ticket to Dream offers our CASA children!
Thank you Ticket to Dream Foundation for all of the support and resources you provide to bring a little more happiness to the lives of our most vulnerable children! It is impactful and continues to open up opportunities in education, health, and well-being for our children in foster care!

Whether it was socks, technology accessories, shoes, or makeup, we were thrilled to be able to give these top of the line items to the kids. This partnership has not only helped us with in-kind gifts but we have also been lucky enough to receive monetary support from different vendors that have helped in very specific needs throughout the year. The service provided has been pleasant and professional. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to make the connection with Ticket to Dream and to be the recipient of all this program has to offer.

I am part of the Youth Villages development staff in Nashville TN. and we have been working with the Ticket to Dream Foundation since it's beginning.

They have done so much to help the children and families we serve and we are forever grateful for all of their help!

Ticket to Dream Foundation is one of the most amazing organizations that support foster youth. Their ability to collaborate with other retailers to support non-profits across the U.S. is outstanding. TTD Foundation has provided stellar inkind support and financial program support to Blue Skies for Children, located in Bellingham, WA for many years. They provide graduation support, laptops, winter warm items such as coats & blankets, plus shoes, socks, gift cards, masks and backpacks for youth heading back to school each Fall.

CASA of Solano County is so thankful for our partnership with Ticket To Dream Foundation. The donations we receive help us to serve the foster youth in our community in ways that incomparable. Recently, we were gifted with a large selection of socks, which in our clothing closet is one of the most requested items. Seems like a small thing but to a child without much, a new pair of socks can be all it takes. The generous donations allow us to provide many "normal" experiences for the youth in care. None of it would be possible without this fantastic partnership.

I'm filling in for the person who usually manages our relationship with TTD (she's on maternity leave), and I've been blown away by the amount of quality merchandise and gifts we've received in just 2 months for our foster kids! I don't know what was involved in becoming a partner, but there's very little admin work required on the back end. Such a great service!
As a new partner with Ticket to Dream, foster children in South Florida are blessed to be on the receiving end of their support. Ticket to Dream plays a special role in helping organizations like ours, who render direct support to foster families and the children in their care. With more needs than we can fill, our organization just doesn't have the staff to create the donation streams of goods and funding from Corporations. This is where Ticket to Dream comes in! In such a short time, they have put hundreds of smiles on the faces of our children. We look forward to a long and productive partnership! Thank you TTD!
What a fabulous partner to have on our side. Love having another way to get our young people the help they need through a truly caring group of folks.
Just this week, thanks to Ticket to Dream, children in foster care in our community had the opportunity to go to Homecoming, take piano lessons, go horseback riding, and play on their school's football team. These simple actions may not look like a lot, but they mean SO much to a child in foster care and would not happen if it weren't for the funds we receive from Ticket to Dream. Thank you and your donors for helping these incredible young people feel "normal" during a time that is anything but. We are so grateful to have you as partners on this journey!

It's hard not to love Ticket to Dream. I work for a CASA program. When COVID-19 arrived on the scene, Ticket to Dream was one of the first foundations to reach out and ask US what OUR needs were. They knew children in foster care may struggle with access to technology during the pandemic, and they provided us the resources to connect our children with their classrooms and advocates. They are always asking, "How can we help?" What a refreshing and impactful, child welfare partner.
Parents by Choice a nonprofit agency that serves children and youth in foster care has been able to provide so much more to the clients we serve thanks to Ticket to Dream!

CASA of Kent County loves partnering with TTD!
Ticket to Dream has been an unbelievable partner for NewPath Child & Family Solutions, formerly St. Joseph Orphanage in Cincinnati, Ohio! The staff are so giving and the quality of materials given to our agency are incredible for our clients. For example, just a couple of weeks ago we received 400 pairs of socks for our foster care and transitional youth. This came at a time where our resource center was depleted and this answered our need. I could go on and on about the success model of TTD! Well done and keep up the great work!
WE love working with Ticket To Dream Foundation because they are very professional and in tune to the needs of all foster youth. They are quick to reach out to figure out ways to support when there are adverse situations that impact children and youth in foster care. their partnerships are excellent and the resources they provide are of high quality.

We are so thankful to this foundation for always thinking about new, creative, and innovative ways they can support our young people.

Our young people are simply better because of our partnership with this magnificent organization so much so, I am proud to say I am a donor!
Ticket to Dream Foundation has changed the game for children living in foster care all over the US. This organization does a phenomenal job at networking, partnering, educating, and fundraising to get foster kids the things they need and deserve. One of my favorite things about TTD is that they ask and they listen to the people who are and have been doing the ground work in foster care for many years.
When COVID hit our country, TTD immediately responded with support to foster families. OUR foster kids need and deserve organizations like TTD. It takes a village... TTD gets it!
Thank you, Ticket to Dream Foundation, for your ongoing support and donations to Children's Fund. The ideal life of a child is one that consists of nurture and love. Many children are fortunate enough to have that and more, but others are abused, neglected, or impoverished. When children are taken away from those harsh environments and put into the foster youth system, it is a drastic change. This change can cause children to become confused and overwhelmed. Luckily, there are organizations such as Ticket to Dream Foundation that help, with tangible items and donations that extend our arms in supporting children across San Bernardino County. With your support, we will continue to work toward our vision of a bright future for every child.

I'm so extremely grateful for Ticket to Dream Foundation and their support to the UC Davis Guardian Scholars Program.

Ticket to Dream is true to its namesake - a dream! Their entire team supports children in foster care so well.

We have been grateful to see the growth in our partnership with the Ticket to Dream Foundation. Their outreach efforts and mission to provide opportunity and normalcy to children in foster care align perfectly with may things CHOICES has been doing for years. TDF has allowed for us to expand our offerings to youth in our programs. One of the greatest benefits is the awareness they bring to foster care and the needs of our kids on the national stage. As smaller non-profit in Ohio with a much smaller budget their marketing and involvement across the US helps start the conversation about helping our kids! Their team is amazing to work with and they put a lot of thought and effort into their processes and partnerships. All interactions have been ethical and transparent and they share the same accountability standards in usage of in-kind donations and funds that CHOICES uses. TDF has helped us to meet urgent needs of our kids but also give them a chance to DREAM. Recently, Dayton, Ohio was devastated by an outbreak of tornadoes. TDF was able to help our foster families with their disaster relief fund. This was something totally unexpected and much appreciated. Furthermore, our kids have enjoyed so many awesome experiences such as the Ohio State Fair and a trip to Orlando, Florida for our aging out youth. We love that they are helping our kids live their vision and have built the same level of trust with partners and their donors as we do in our small corner of Ohio.

Throughout the year, we look forward to the in-kind donations that Ticket to Dream Foundation provides from pajamas, clothing, and gifts for the kids during the holidays.
We consider this Foundation one of our major funders and we couldn't do what we do without them.
Ticket to Dream Foundation has created the largest nationwide network of organizations serving children and youth in foster care. They continue to innovate and create better ways to support youth in care. The team is fantastic and their mission is as worthy as they come. Keep up the good work!

As a community health agency, we are able to provide essential items and normalcy activities to our foster children through the kind support and donations from Ticket to Dream. From back to school, to pajamas, to shoes and toys, the foster families are able to provide for the children in their care without the additional stress of obtaining resources.

24!
24 is the number of children in Grant/Adams Counties who—because of Ticket to Dream and Embrace Washington--will now have the backpack and school supplies they need to succeed in school!
Thank you, Ticket to Dream and Embrace! You live up to your name in every sense of the word! You not only embrace Spokane but also support rural areas like ours who regularly struggle with resources. Thank you for opening your hearts and stepping up to meet this need for kids in our care.
On behalf of the staff, children and communities blessed by the generosity of you and your donors, please accept our heartfelt ‘Thank you!’
Ticket to Dream has been a tremendous help to the youth in ChildServ's foster care and group homes. Their support pays for extracurricular activities and tutoring so that the youth in our programs can heal from past trauma and achieve their potential. We are so grateful to have a partnership with them.
Having worked with Meghan and Ticket to Dream at St. Joseph Orphanage in Cincinnati over the last couple of years. The impact this program has had on our Foster Families and kids has been nothing short of amazing!
Thanks to Ticket to Dream our Foster Families and kids have had opportunities to experience activities and outings we take for granted on a daily basis.
To see our foster kids “be kids” and the smiles on their faces are nothing short of a miracle, and Ticket to Dream makes it all possible.
Not to mention all the donated “NEW” items they supply each year. School supplies, clothes, coats, toys, and so much more. This would be happen without Ticket to Dream’s support!
An Angel came to us a couple of years ago, and that Angel was Ticket to Dream!
Thank you for your impact on our Foster Families!
Jim Jenkins-Development Director, St. Joseph Orphanage
The Wishing Well Foundation would not be where we are today without the amazing support of Ticket to Dream! We are able to meet the needs of many of our counties foster children through not only the storefront which served over 1250 clients in 2017, but also through our Little Wishes program that helps to pay for extracurricular activities. On behalf of all the children and families in our community....THANK YOU for working so hard every day to make sure that youth in care feel valued and loved!
We have been partners with the Ticket to Dream Foundation for two years and counting. This is a wonderful organization that has supported our goal of providing holiday cheer for foster children in the Fox Valley/ Outagamie and Calumet Counties of Wisconsin. Thanks to their generous donations Foster Forward was able to purchase pajamas and holiday gifts and distribute boots for over 140 of the children who attended our annual Holiday Party. In addition, donated funds were used to provide foster children and a family of 6 to attend summer camp. The Ticket to Dream Foundation is devoted to helping to improve the lives of foster children, please support them in any way you can.
Thank you Ticket to Dream for supporting our organization and helping so many kids in Marin County receive pajamas, toys, school materials and so much more. We couldn't do it without you! You have made a tremendous difference to our kids. Thank you!
The North Olympic Foster Parent Association would like to say,Thank You for helping our community with your generous donations.
Below is a testimony for one of our local foster parents I would like to share. Great testimony from a local foster parent.
My foster son, age 16, recently arrived at my home wearing shorts, a stained ratty jacket, and old shoes a size too small. He was carrying a ripped backpack half-full of dirty clothing. I tried to work with the social worker to retrieve the rest of his possessions, but apparently this was not possible. Unfortunately, this is not the first time in my ten years as a foster parent that this has happened. I’m retired and my income is limited, and while foster parents do receive some compensation from the State, it is issued more than a month after the child arrives.
We were looking at needing to find a complete wardrobe and all school supplies before the start of school. This is where the story turns happy… I got in contact with Linda Cortani at Fostering Together. She reviewed the situation and immediately connected me with resources to help my kiddo feel at home and ready for school. One of these resources was a $100 gift card for Ross from the North Olympic Foster Parent Association.
My foster son decided his priority purchase would be new shoes. We entered Ross, a place he had never been, and found the shoe department. He looked at me and said, “These are all new!” He hesitated, looking at the shoes, then said, “Where are the ones I can get?” Because of the very generous gift card from the Association, I was able to tell him he could get whichever pair he wanted, or even two pairs. When I told him this, tears started streaming down his face (and mine too!}
He learned how shoe sizes work and how to tell if a shoe fits, as he had never purchased new shoes before. He did end up purchasing two pairs of shoes, as well and underwear and socks, and a pair of pants. He can hardly wait to start his new school next week dressed in a way that helps him feel comfortable and confident.
I want to extend my personal thanks to the North Olympic Foster Parent Association and Fostering Together for the generous and meaningful support of my foster child. May this come back to you tenfold.
Sincerely,
Foster Parent

The Ticket to Dream Foundation has been such an incredible partner to us. They have helped support our foster kids and families through every step, from initial placement needs to clothing, school supplies and holiday gifts. They have given us valuable resources to support our foster families, and we are all grateful for them!
Child Advocates - Denver CASA is so lucky to have the support of Ticket to Dream. As an organization that supports children who have suffered from abuse or neglect, we work with the most vulnerable in our community. But with partners like Ticket to Dream, we can offer even more to the families and kids. A prime example of this was when we received at least 50 boxes of brand new winter boots to be distributed at our holiday party in 2017. The looks on the faces of the children, youth and caregivers when we told them they could choose their size boot as a special gift were priceless! Thank you for all you do for our Denver community, and for many communities across the country!
Ticket to Dream has transformed my agency's ability to touch the lives of the children, teens, and young adults we serve. They truly are a partner as they listen, encourage, and dream with us in unique and life-changing ways in order that we are able to serve those we are called to serve. Just when you seem to be against a wall and need an answer to prayer, Ticket to Dream reaches out and becomes that answer without even knowing it. We are blessed to see the joy, excitement, and life change in those we serve and it would be so diminished if not for this magnificent foundation who truly wants every child to have a ticket, and the encouragement, to make their dreams come true! THANK YOU TTD!
The Ticket to Dream Foundation has been an amazing organization to work with. Their partnership and support has filled gaps in services to children navigating the child welfare system, ensuring all children have the opportunity to access normative activities. We couldn't do our work without their support!
Ticket to Dream has provided so many opportunities for our foster clients to experience extracurricular events. We work with kinship clients (grandmothers raising grandchildren primarily) and aged out foster youth. These two groups do not have funds for even the most basic things like a movie, school supplies, or any enrichment programs. Through this partnership, we have a monthly event for these kids like museums, local events, the zoo, and many more experiences that can be life changing. We have been able to provide swim lessons, band instruments, laptops, and the things that make a well rounded individual. We are so grateful for the vision that Ticket to Dream helps provide to our kids.
Ticket to Dream has been such a huge help to our agency over the years. They have given the youth in care the opportunity to do things they may have not otherwise been able to do such as attend sporting events, shows, camps, etc. They have also helped the agency provide a variety of items to youth that may not have been provided had we not had the support from them. Thank you so much for all that you do for the youth in our community.
The Ticket to Dream Foundation has been an incredible support to our foster youth in so many ways over the past few years. From generously securing toys, shoes, school supplies, and financial support, they have been able to directly improve the opportunities and quality of life for our foster kids and families.
We are very grateful for their partnership and look forward to continuing to work with them far into the future. Thank you , Ticket to Dream!
Ticket to Dream is an amazing organization with their many programs and partnerships providing support to foster youth nationwide. During Summer 2018 Ticket to Dream helped foster youth have a special summer with their “Go Play” program of providing 3750 tickets to fairs, sporting events and concerts, and 3000 kids with extra-curricular dream grants. For the start of the new school year Ticket to Dream provided youth with backpacks and school supplies, and 786 laptops to high school and college foster youth. These are just a small examples of the goodness of Ticket to Dream in their goal of “Helping Foster Kids Just Be Kids”. I am proud to support Ticket To Dream.
Ticket to Dream is a fabulous organization! We are so thankful to have their support for our foster children at the South Carolina Youth Advocate Program. They provide so many wonderful gifts for them throughout the year- such as clothing, toys, school supplies, graduation, gifts at Christmas, etc. They also help our children participate in extracurricular activities, summer camps, and other opportunities. Their generosity and dedication to helping foster children is amazing! I can't tell you how much we appreciate their assistance as we care for these special youngsters. Thank you, Ticket to Dream, for helping our children feel loved and special!
Ticket to Dream has been a “dream” to work with. We have received funds and donated items each year that have really helped our kids and families in the foster care system. Our Family Based Services Program Director can’t stop talking about how wonderful the extra funds have been for aiding the families in our programs with assistance in areas where they most need it!
Ticket to Dream has been a sponsor for Foster Care Support Foundation providing funds and goods so that we can provide for over 4000 children last year and over 4500 this year, both to foster homes on base per-diem and to grands taking in their grandchildren so they won't go into foster care. Georgia is dedicated to place at least 50% of children coming into foster care into relative homes but most are without stipend from the state that usually go to a caregiver. We are so happy that Ticket 2 Dream cares about our children as they do. They are also awesome volunteers!!
I serve in the Development Department at Ennis Center for Children, a non-profit partner of the Ticket to Dream Foundation. My agency is a not-for-profit adoption and foster care agency located in Southeast Michigan. Words cannot express how much being a part of this organization has benefited the children we care for. Coming into foster care can be one of the most traumatic experiences that a child experiences. The clothing, shoes, pajamas, school supplies, and other items donated by this foundation have helped smooth that transition.
We have also received funds from this organization designated for emergency placement and extracurricular activities. In emergency situations, these funds have given us the ability to provide our kids and foster families with items necessary to place them in safe, loving homes. Monies for extracurricular activities have made it possible for us to send our kids to activities that range from dance classes and swimming lessons to driver's training and gymnastics.
Words cannot express how much we genuinely appreciate the continued support we have gotten from the Ticket to Dream Foundation and so do our kids and families!
My name is Tiffany Araya and I am the Program Coordinator for The Felix Organization. Youth in foster care face many difficult circumstances on a day to day basis; Ticket to Dream Foundation ensures that lack of clothing and school supplies is one less problem they have to face. The gifts we receive have made life easier and more fun for our kids. We are blown away by Ticket to Dream's continued support and generosity and most importantly, their dedication to improving the lives of youth in foster care. We hope to be part of this family for many years to come!
They have absolutely changed the lives of hundreds of children in Hawaii. Their donations and generosity has allowed our abused kids in foster care to have a sense of normality that they may have never had without the support.
Life changing support.
Ticket to Dream is an incredible organization with a true focus on helping kids be kids! As a volunteer, I have had the opportunity to see foster youth's eyes light up when they receive a gift from under the tree at an event or pick out their own back pack before school starts, This non-profit organization is amazing and continues to impact communities in a BIG way!
At The Villages of Indiana, Indiana’s largest child and family services agency, we are grateful for our wonderful partnership with The Ticket to Dream Foundation. It is because of them that we have been able to send each child we serve to summer camp, receive tutoring to help improve their understanding of a subject at school, have school supplies, new clothes and shoes. The Ticket to Dream Foundation have not only contributed in the growth of a child’s mind but have provided so much happiness through donations of new toys for Villages’ foster children and many generous monetary donations that have helped us distribute countless resources for the children and families we serve. We thank The Ticket to Dream Foundation and are happy and thankful to be a part of their mission.
I am with a children's home in Louisville Kentucky. I have worked with Ticket to Dream over the last two years and their support has made a significant impact on our foster children. We have been able to provide our foster children with opportunities they would not have without Ticket to Dream's support. We are grateful to partner with this outstanding organization!
Ticket to Dream has given our foster children the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities, area attractions and school activities that enrich their lives and give them the opportunities that many children take for granted.
My name is Robin Kennedy and I am the president of the board for Friends of CASA Hawaii. I am also a volunteer. OUr organization has operated for over ten years with a very small grant that has been hugely appreciated. Until Ticket To Dream Foundation chose us, we were only able to support our 130 volunteers in their efforts to be the voice of our children in foster care. We are advocates for children who have been either sexually or physically abused.
We have hundreds of children in foster care who have most times been ripped from their homes or taken off the streets with only the clothes on their backs. Ticket to dream is changing lives daily in Hawaii and we thank God for them everyday. Our children, who previously may have never gotten a birthday present or been able to go on a school field trip, now have hope. With the support from Ticket to Dream they have clothes that fit and get to play after school sports. It gives them a chance to be "normal" kids and not stand out as a child who lives without.
I could spend hours sharing how many children's lives have been changed by this organization but let me share this, it is making a difference in these kids futures, and the future of our nation. THank you Ticket to Dream Foundation for choosing our non profit in this community to help our children. You will always be remembered.
I work in a nonprofit that supports youth in foster care, and I've had the pleasure of working with the Ticket to Dream Foundation over the past year and a half. They have been incredible partners, enabling us to provide clothes, toys, school supplies, access to extracurricular activities, and educational support to thousands of youth in foster care every year. They've also worked to connect a nationwide network of foster care nonprofits, encouraging partners to share best practices to better meet the needs of the youth we serve. I think the Ticket to Dream Foundation is doing a fantastic job of meeting the immediate needs of kids and teens in foster care while also working towards long-term, systems-level change.
Ticket to Dreams is a great foundation that supports foster kids throughout the United States. Bearpaw partnered up with Ticket to Dreams for the Boot 4 Boot program during winter of 2016. Which became a successful campaign and provided shoes to more than 5,000 foster children for winter. Investing in the youth of America is crucial for the future success of our country.
Ticket to Dream is an amazing foundation and we, at BEARPAW, are so proud to have worked with this group since the fall of 2016. Gina and the team here are truly dedicated and it is a pleasure to be able to work with such a talented team. Their only focus is to provide unforgettable experiences for foster children in need and they excel at this at every level. As our CEO, Tom Romeo, would say "They are paw-sitively paw-tastic!"
It is such a privilege to volunteer for a non-profit that serves the greater good of their constituents. Ticket to Dream is changing the lives of children nationwide by providing basic necessities that we take for granted on a regular basis. The staff at Ticket to Dream has big hearts & they truly love what they do everyday.
Ticket to Dream Foundation is an incredible non-profit foundation! It's very rare to see such a large scale foundation making an impact in local communities! They have been great to work with over the years and understand how to make the biggest impact for their cause. I highly recommend this non-profit to work with if you're interested in starting campaigns to help those in your community!
I have had the privilege of volunteering and donating to this nonprofit for many years now. Their devotion to the foster youth and the family's they serve and assist is unparalleled. I trust their efforts and appreciate their commitment for bringing attention and resources to this particular need in our communities! I urge anyone who is seeking out a cause and nonprofit charity to donate time, items or monetary donation, to consider The Ticket to Dream foundation. The impact on the youth provided for is immediate and life changing.
Getting the opportunity to work with Ticket to Dream was/is an amazing experience. They go above and beyond to help the Foster Kids of America and are always finding new ways to provide support for these children.
Every year during the holidays, we donate to Ticket to Dream in lieu of client gifts at our company. We love that they put so much effort and thought into providing the items and funding that foster children need most. Sometimes we get to hear quotes and feedback from the foster parents and foster kids who receive donations like ours, and it's truly heart warming to see what an impact it has in their day-to-day lives.
I volunteer for and donate often to this organization and I've seen first hand the good that Ticket to Dream has done for foster children. These children are our future and they deserve the best of everything - Ticket to Dream helps foster youth in many ways - from a new pair of shoes for a child that had to leave all their belongings behind, to the much needed funds assist ing young adults transitioning out of foster care and into college and careers.
Ticket to Dream is an amazing organization that is all about supporting Foster Kids in need. I have personally volunteered a few times for this organization and am honered every time knowing what a great cause they stand for. The donations provide hope and confidence in the kids knowing they fit in are not looked at differently. This is an amazing orginization helping improve lives of the several thousand foster kids.
I have had the honor of working with the Ticket to Dream Foundation for years. The work they do on behalf of foster children around the country is amazing. I've heard personal stories from kids in foster care who made it through very difficult times and later transitioned into adulthood thanks to the help and assistance from the Ticket to Dream Foundation. They understand that the most important gift we can give a foster child in need is hope.
One of my favorite non-profits to give to! My family donates items and money for foster children to this non profit monthly.
Ticket To Dream (TTD) is my favorite non profit! I have personally had the honor of working side by side TTD during some of their events and the staff and volunteers are top notch individuals. You can feel the energy and passion they have for helping kids just by being around them. I have also seen first hand how the money and items collected go right back to the community. Not only do I appreciate TTD and their staff members but I trust them with my donated time, items and money. I can't even begin to imagine how many kids and families they have helped and it's exciting to think of just how many more they will continue to help! Thank you for all that you do TTD!
