Impact

Since 2014, we’ve worked side-by-side with resilient youth to help them realize their dreams and gain access to opportunities that will empower them to reach their dreams. With a commitment to ethical storytelling and trauma-informed care, we’re dedicated to ensuring every Dreamer has access, opportunity and hope for their future.

Testimonials

It has been exciting to watch Believe in Dreams execute on their vision of providing dreams for many young people but at the same time show these young people that they matter and their future can be bright.

I really do appreciate what you’ve done for me. I would’ve never thought that I would’ve been in a lawyer’s position. I admire what you do as a woman because we always get put down. You’re making young women like me believe in my abilities way more than what I did before.

My organizations and I have worked with Believe in Dreams and have been inspired by stories of how John, Eddie, and the entire team are impacting lives in Northeastern Ohio. We are extremely excited to be co-sponsors of the 2018 5k race and look forward to partnering with Believe in Dreams to help make people’s lives better

This is a very great program for children who are less fortunate than others. I really love how you have so much care for young adults who work hard daily. I just want to thank you guys so much for making my dream come true. I would also like to tell my story to other children just like me who always have doubts about something being done. Once again, I thank you for changing my life forever and I will never forget you all. Thank you!

Words cannot express our gratitude for the overwhelming, generous kindness you showed our family this Christmas season. For the first time, since the tragic death of their mom, my grandchildren were happy, laughing and having fun. This made our Christmas complete. Again thank you!
