Thousands of people have helped orphans in the history of humanity. Orphans are children without parents. The Dream of an ‘orphan’ is to find a family and defeat loneliness. Happiness is there cure.
The history of The Orphans Dream Foundation, Inc., began eighteen years ago when the father of a child afflicted with an ‘Orphan Disease’ promised that he would dedicate his life to combating ‘Orphan Diseases’ in exchange for more time for his son. This is a promise.
How could a man who never finished high school, who knows absolutely nothing about science, effectively maintain such a promise? It’s a good question. When we add the fact that this man, as a youth, was arrested more times than there are days in the month, the question becomes even more interesting… How will this man maintain his promise?
‘The Orphans Dream Foundation’ is part of the answer.
How is this Foundation different than the other foundations?
- The Foundation supports research only in ‘Orphan Disease’
- The Foundation supports only advanced stage research*
- The Foundation’s overhead is self supported
- The management style is not hindered by bureaucracy
- The Foundation relies on relationships in the private and public sectors cultivated over 18 years
- The Foundation has been involved with the funneling of over 30 million dollars into Orphan Disease Research
- The Foundation offers counseling at no charge to anyone affected by an ‘Orphan Disease’ *
- The Foundation has it’s own rock band and, as Music is the Univeral Language of our world, it is the perfect vehicle to reach as many people as possible, efficiently and effectively as possible.
- The man who made this promise intends to keep it
*Advanced Stage research means treatments near human trials
*Free Counseling means that the Foundation will identify for you the centers where research on your disease is being conducted along with a summary of research being conducted
