My Dreams Foundation in Action
Education
We believe opportunities for post-secondary education or vocational programs afford all persons a chance for a brighter future. Growing up with a disability is difficult and we believe offering scholarships to students with a disability will help on their journey to adulthood. Scholarship application window for 2026 is now CLOSED. Applications deadline April 10, 2026.
Please support our scholarship program for students living with a disability.

Advocacy
We're committed to equipping individuals with a disability a means to self-advocate while supporting families to be a voice for that voice may not be loud enough to be heard or understood. Advocacy plays a crucial role in challenging societal norms, pushing for policy changes, and ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their physical or mental capabilities, have equal rights and opportunities.
Special Friends Night
Join us the third Thursday of every month for Special Friends Night at Chick-fil-A LaPlace from 5p-7p! Special Friends Night provides a welcoming environment for all individuals living with a disability to enjoy games, friends, and fun!
