What Makes Us Unique?
Alberta Dreams is the only dream-fulfilling organization in Alberta that is dedicated exclusively to children with severe chronic or life-threatening medical illness.
​
At Alberta Dreams, we understand the impact that chronic illness can have on a child’s daily life. We define chronic illness as a medical condition that significantly affects a child’s ability to carry out their daily activities. This impact can result from various factors such as frequent hospital stays, use of oxygen and/or ventilator machines, high doses of medications, or the need for significant medical intervention.
​
Our inclusion of chronic illness in our mandate sets us apart from similar organizations in Canada. We are a crucial resource for chronically ill children who do not qualify for a wish under other programs. Alberta Dreams believes that every child deserves a chance to experience the joy of having their dream come true and is an essential resource for chronically ill children in Alberta.
