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.

Firehouse duty

Firefighters are heroes and let’s not lie, the trucks are cool too! Steve Thompson has a love for service vehicles–anything with “bells and whistles” like no other. When a staff member at The Oaks at Woodfield heard about this, we reached out to the local Fire Chief at the Grand Blanc Fire department.

The Chief was happy to give Steve and several other residents a ride! Steve grew a huge smile at the sight of the truck pulling into the parking lot. He looked like a kid in a candy store! He had a blast being chauffeured around and being able to hear the siren up close.
