                                to Children in Transition

When she chose her Sweet Dream Bag: "Now I am so happy -- I will be happy all the time!!"  There were lots of hugs of thanks from this sweet little girl!

 MANY SPECIAL "PACK & PRAY" EVENTS 

         Birthday Celebrations at Pack & Pray 

Over the last year we have had 3 people want to celebrate their Birthday by having their friends come and help put together Sweet Dream Bags for children with so little!!  One 10 yr old told her friends she didn't want any gifts that they could just bring something new for the Sweet Dream Bags -- some brought sheets, pillows and some money donations for us to purchase needed items.  Each of the three events have taken place during our regular "third Saturday of the month" packing event.  Everyone had a great time and it was so rewarding to see everyone so willing to give of themselves!!!  Maybe you will want to make  your next celebration (Birthday, Anniversary, etc.) a Sweet Dream Celebration.  We also have certificates that can be sent  that say you have donated a Sweet Dream Bag in their name.   So think about how you can use this to help your friends and family feel special and that they are making a difference in a child's life!

Speaking to groups

We would love the opportunity to speak and share about Sweet Dream to any group, church, business or organization-- just call Susie 303-507-2098

Please ask your dentist if they can donate toothbrushes--that is one of our needs right now.
It is amazing just how excited these children get when they find they have a new toothbrush and toothpaste of their very own in their Sweet Dream Bag!  I will send your dentist a thank you note and a tax receipt for their donation as we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
