To a seriously ill child, the opportunity to enjoy the simple pleasures of childhood can be the best medicine of all. It may be the inspiration that motivates the child to hang in there through a time of great suffering and burdensome treatments.

 The Dream Factory, Inc. was founded in 1980 in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, by Charles Henault. Today, through over 33 chapters nationwide, including the Lexington, Kentucky chapter, the Dream Factory grants dreams to children ages 3-18 who have been diagnosed with critical or chronic illnesses.

 The Lexington Chapter of the Dream Factory grants dreams to children in the Lexington, southern and eastern Kentucky area. We receive dream requests and the time-frame for granting those dreams are often dictated by physician’s permission and health restraints. In the fiscal year of 2024, our chapter granted 21 dreams, ranging from trips to Disney World, concert tickets and backstage passes, and shopping sprees.
