MCKEESPORT (KDKA) - Off of Walnut Street in McKeesport, a small but mighty team makes dreams come true in our neighborhood and across the country.
We're talking about Jamie's Dream Team.
Jamie Ward is the founder of the non-profit which grants dreams to individuals with life-threatening and terminal conditions, or anyone who's suffering from a serious medical need.
Ward said she does this work "because these families deserve it. They truly deserve it."
She also gave us some examples.
"Well say Addison for example, she is going through a second relapse of cancer and we're going to send her to Hawaii," Ward said.
Ward said she understands the situations these families experience because she was born with V.A.T.E.R. syndrome. It's affected many parts of her body, and that means she's had more than forty-five major surgeries since birth, still undergoes treatment, and she's only in her 30s.
"I've been in the hospital, and I've said, you know what, I'll be right back. They're like you can't just leave, I'm like 'yeah I have to go, I have to help them," said Ward.
Mid-appointment she's focusing on bringing joy to others. Ward said she knows how important it is to feel free from concerns even if just for a moment.
Jamie’s Dream Team mission is to offer hope when there is little, to ease the burden caused by serious illness, injury, disability, trauma, or catastrophic events and to finally celebrate individual differences by acknowledging dreams as possibilities.

Purpose: The purpose of Jamie’s Dream Team is to provide assistance and/or make distributions to or on behalf of qualifying individuals who are handicapped, disabled, terminally ill, severely injured or suffering from a serious medical condition, disease, or trauma.
