Established as a 501(c)(3) in 2008, Ticket to Dream is dedicated to providing hope and opportunity for foster children across the nation, so they can just be kids. We believe it starts with joining forces with businesses and local communities to ensure foster youth of all ages have the school supplies, holiday gifts, properly fitting clothing and shoes that all children need to thrive.
We help create opportunity by funding aging out programs that increase graduation rates, provide housing, access to laptops and teach employment/life skills aimed to prepare foster youth for adulthood and reduce the rate of homelessness as they leave care.
We serve as an ally to those in care to meet the unique needs of Hispanic, Black & LGBTQ+ foster youth. TTD also provides rapid response during natural disasters to keep foster families safe, reduce trauma and provide emergency support. Funds raised will support foster youth with access to essentials like school supplies, clothing, shoes and more, access to extracurricular and normalcy activities, and resources for youth as they age out of care like housing solutions, job & life skills, access to higher education, and emergency needs.
