Bringing smiles to little faces one beanie at a time
Please help us by donating a beanie for a child!
Welcome to The Dream Makers
Our mission lies in offering soft character beanies at no cost to families, designed for children experiencing medical hair loss usually from cancer treatment. Our aim is to deliver happiness and comfort to these children in tough times. Every beanie is crafted by hand with love and attention, guaranteeing top-notch quality for our little ones.
Since our inception in January 2018 with just five members, we have expanded significantly. As of 2023, we have lovingly created over 1600 beanies.
“You are beautiful, strong and brave” goes on every card we send with our beanies because these children are just that.
We provide children suffering from medical hair loss with the opportunity to dream and escape their illness through character beanies. Often, chemotherapy treatments make young scalps too sensitive for traditional wigs or beanies. Our beanies, crafted from soft, high-quality yarn, are designed to be gentle on their delicate heads.
It's a beautiful transformation to witness: children who were once shy and withdrawn due to their cancer become vibrant, smiling, and giggling once they wear our beanies. These beanies boost their self-esteem, elevate their spirits, and bring joy to their faces. They also allow these brave, yet frightened children to dream and imagine themselves as princesses, superheroes, or any character they adore.
If you know a child struggling with hair loss, please visit the "Request a Beanie" page linked at the top. Should the beanie they desire not be listed, we encourage you to fill out the request form with the child's preferred beanie. We are committed to fulfilling all requests.
"Thank you so much for your kindness! My daughter, Olivia, is 9 years old and was diagnosed with High-Risk B-Cell ALL/Leukemia on April 6, 2022. She lost a significant amount of hair in the first month and has really missed her long hair. She absolutely loves the hat/wig that was given to her by her clinic. Your organizations talent and heart is amazing and very much appreciated.
Thank you!"
Enjoli, Gupton
