Until we can get the approval from some of the children and their families, we’re posting a few photos of Sue Wolf, the Founder, Darrell Williams and Deidra Sutton from the Administration for Children’s Services’ Office of Community Partnerships, Valerie Worthy from Inwood House and Robert Dragotta and Melanie Roy Friedman who volunteered their time and services for Foster Your Dream’s Theatre Project.

Thanks to Sarahbeth Grossman and Sally Horchow who actually fell in love with the idea of taking our kids to see ANNIE and made it happen like no one else could.

There will be more stories forthcoming.

Robert Dragotta makes friends with everyone!

Happy Theatre Goers!

Many of the children were shy and didn’t want to be photographed. Inwood house came. St. Dominic’s house came.

Ann on Broadway Event

We have the most exciting news! “ANN” on Broadway, starring the amazing Holland Taylor, has invited 60 Foster Teens and their Foster Families for a matinee at the Theatre! We are coordinating this wonderful trip with ACS in New York (Administration of Children’s Services). It is our VERY FIRST EVENT EVER! What an honor. Ms. Taylor stars as the dynamic Ann Richards, who was the feisty and colorful Governor of Texas. An added bonus is that Holland Taylor has been nominated for a Tony Award for this performance and we are lucky enough to be able to bring our Dream Kids to this highly acclaimed play.

Many thanks to Diedra Sutton, Darrell Williams, Jamie Kendall, Sarahbeth Grossman and Kevin Bailey who are coordinating and underwriting this event. More news and more thanks to come!

Welcome to Foster Your Dream!

Welcome to Foster Your Dream’s first blog post! We are proud to announce that we are a bonafide Public Benefit Corporation which will provide Dreams to kids in Foster Care!

Remember all those little extras that you got as a kid? A bicycle. Music lessons. Karate lessons. Trips to the Zoo. Tickets to a concert or a sporting event. Cool sneakers. Prom Dresses? Your parents gave these things to you. So what about kids that don’t have parents readily available to them? They get what they need in the Foster System, but often the giving ends there. Many would say that these kids get “three hots and a cot.” That’s not enough for us at Foster Your Dream! We want to enrich these young lives with anything you can think of! By making their dreams come true now, we hope to make them feel valued and send them on a path of becoming vital citizens who learn that giving and giving back is part of being a member of the American Family.

Please consider contacting us with goods, services or financial donations. Anything that you dream up, could help one of our hundreds of thousands of children have a Dream Come True. The national statistic is around half a million kids, who are being raised by the government.

Feel free to donate funds to us here: or to contact us and I will let you know how to do it. To avoid bots I will spell out the address. Sue Wolf at foster your dream dotorg. If you can offer us an opportunity but no money, that is fantastic, too! Please be in touch and we will arrange YOUR dream to come true for our kids. Thank you so much.
