Hope is that quiet voice that says, "this isn't the end." Every sunrise is proof that darkness doesn't last always. You are NOT stuck - you are in TRANSITION!

The Children Are Important For Our Future

11/04/2024

Allow me to personally, and from the organization of I DREAM ACADEMY (MENTORING AND DEVELOPMENT), to extend a Grateful Thank You to Leah (Phenix Israel) McBride for her generous contributions of Thirty-six youth backpacks!

The challenge to run a successful Mentoring Organization is understated. You truly become a surrogate for so many youth looking for ways to overcome their own difficulties. We witness youth dying at alarming levels; homelessness, dropouts, gun-play, lack of easentials, and school supplies -all of this while sacrificing our own.

It's only through big hearts and contributions from supporters like Leah McBride and her partnership with OPERATION BACKPACK4KIDS that I Dream Academy was able to bless so many 4th thru 6th grade youth with a backpack.

The need is great. And our mission is unable to continue without supporters. If you are interested in contributing to our call to SAVE the LIVES of our youth - please go to: www.idreamacademy.org

Contributions can come in all facades. It's Not just financial. Nor is there any dollar amount too small.

Again, our heartfelt thanks to Leah McBride and the Backpack4kids!

Eternally, gratefully,

De'Ron Smith
President & CEO
