ABOUT US
How We Help Foster Kids
At Ticket to Dream, we believe foster kids have endured enough. They deserve normalcy, childhood fun, and opportunities to build a future full of success. Unfortunately, in foster care, there are many unmet vital needs foster kids face every day, from the very moment they enter care.
We are dedicated to providing hope and opportunity for foster kids across the country by providing them everyday essentials, support, and the experiences they need to thrive, to be kids. We keep a pulse on the changing needs, and leverage our retail experience to bring impactful resources, to raise the level of care, and to break through the red tape that can often keep these children from accessing what they need.
With over 328,000 children in care today, this is only possible by working in partnership with companies, individuals, and over 218 foster care non-profits to fill the gaps in care, to build self-worth and to boost education results and future employability.
