How did you get involved?
In the Parable of the Good Samaritan, Luke 10:25-37, Jesus teaches us to love our neighbor as ourselves, and that our “neighbor” is a person who has a need that you can meet. Dreams Come True gives selflessly to those who have very little left — to children with terminal illnesses. I feel that God called me to meet the needs of my neighbors through Dreams Come True.

What have you learned/achieved through the experience?
