A line of elementary students anxiously wait to donate their money to the Dreamcatcher's club so they can wear their pajamas to school or get a streak of color put in their hair.
On Friday May 14, the Dreamcatcher’s club held a fundraiser at Glenyermo Elementary School to raise money to grant new dreams. Glenyermo students could pay $1 to wear pajamas to school, or get a streak of color in their hair.
“The school only has about 420 kids and we raised around $700, so that is awesome!” said Dreamcatcher’s president, Caitlin Crommett.
The money raised from this fundraiser granted the dream of Leonardo Flores, a terminal cancer patient. It allowed him to go with his family to Disneyland for the day. Mr. Flores greatly appreciated that the club was able to take not only himself, but his three children, as well as his two grandchildren to Disneyland.
The club is close to granting another dream. The dreamcatcher’s plan to have a television installed into Robert Higgin’s nursing room. Because televisions are not provided in the nursing home’s rooms, the club has stepped in, to grant Mr. Higgins dream.
The club returned to Glenyermo on Friday, June 4 to teach students how to make dream catchers as a thank you for helping club members grant another dream.
If anyone is interested in helping with some of the Dreamcatcher’s future dreams, please contact Caitlin Crommett.
