We Grant Dreams as Unique as the Seniors We Serve

Everyday Dreams

These smaller dreams make an enormous impact! Everyday Dreams cost less than $250 and include dreams that seniors may think of every day, like riding a motorcycle again, celebrating a very special anniversary dinner, or even going zip-lining.

Bucket List Dreams

These larger-than-life dreams cost a max of $5,000, and have included a trip to Indy 500 Practice Day, a Hot Air Balloon Ride, Skydiving, and meeting KISS. If it’s on a senior’s bucket list, we can help make it happen!

Group Dreams

Some dreams are even sweeter when they’re shared with friends. Group Dreams consist of 20-200 people, and often involve partnerships with outside organizations. These dreams have included a VIP trip on the Belle of Louisville, a Detroit Tigers Game, and Tethered Hot Air Balloon Experiences.

Honor Flight

We’re proud to partner with Honor Flight to fulfill the dreams of seniors who have served our country. Live a Dream will pay for guardians to accompany senior veterans on these special trips to Washington, D.C., which include deluxe tour bus service, meals, snacks, souvenirs and more.

water aerobics pro

Charma Schmitz, a resident of Ridgewood Health Campus, loves swimming! She used to do water aerobics for about 15 years with her late daughter and she’s always wanted to do it again.

We got into contact with the YMCA in Batesville and they were kind enough to give her a day pass where Charma would enjoy an entire hour of water aerobics. When we told Chrama the news she was so excited, you would have thought we had just offered her a trip to the Bahamas! She thought this was something she’d never do again, so we were happy to give her this chance to do what she loves again. Afterward, she capped off her day with a treat from Dairy Queen.
