“I am always humbled when I have the opportunity to meet a Dreamer or learn about a Dream. They are rarely elaborate requests. More often than not, they are fairly simple: a wheel chair ramp so they can enjoy the park during their last days, a comfortable mattress, an airplane ticket home to spend what little time they have left with loved ones, or gathering family together for a final reunion. This is just a small sampling of the Dreams that I have come to know and I am honored to help Dream Foundation continue to grant these very important end-of-life Dreams.”
Ms. Stegall has been an active supporter of Dream Foundation since 2005 and served as the organization’s Dreamland Gala Chair in 2016 and 2017.
