Review for The Dreaming Zebra Foundation, Portland, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I've run or helped run a number of non-profits in my day. Unfortunately I can no longer physically handle the work. That doesn't stop me from giving what I can to those non-profit organizations that can carry the work on for me. Dreaming Zebra Foundation is one of those rare gems that while hard to find sometimes, do extraordinary work in meeting their mission. The work done is all voluntary even Dawn (the Director) works voluntarily to get art supplies to children who otherwise go with nothing. Fostering a love of art, and building the ability to create in children's lives, that from the outside seem hopeless, fosters two very important things: the joy in creating something of beauty that can be shared with others, and the knowledge that if I can create something that came from my own mind, I can do more. It's that spark of knowing that allows children to believe that they can do more with their lives and are not trapped in a hopeless situation. Dreaming Zebra does that every day and with virtually every penny spent on children, not administration and salary expenses. Mind you, these folks deserve to be paid for what they do, and so I gladly give to them what I can to aid in their work. Bravo Dawn!
