Dreams Come True

Reid and his wife, Lyndsey, were married in August 2024, but due to Reid’s health, they were unable to take their planned honeymoon. Reid dreamed of a romantic getaway, and together, we helped make that dream a reality.

Their experience began with transportation from Driven With Care, bringing them from home to Hotel Saskatchewan, where they stayed in the beautiful Royal Suite. From a luxurious space with downtown views to thoughtful amenities and a special breakfast, every detail was designed to make their time together unforgettable.

During their stay, they were also treated to a night out at the Brandt Centre, where they enjoyed a Regina Pats game, complete with food vouchers, personalized jerseys, and a special welcome on the video board alongside K9, the team’s mascot.

After the dream experience, Reid shared that his “favourite moment overall was just being able to get away” and that it was more than he could have ever expected. Reid told us that it meant the world to him and Lydnsey to have a honeymoon and forget everything even for a couple of days.

Wanda’s dream was to visit her grandson in Victoria, British Columbia. She and her grandson share a deeply close and loving bond, so this trip was extra meaningful for Wanda. Wanda, her daughter, and her grandson spent several days immersed in quality time, creating cherished moments filled with laughter and connection. From peaceful walks and shared meals, to heartfelt conversations and simple everyday moments, the trip was a beautiful reminder of what it means to be family. The trip left Wanda feeling uplifted and grateful, and she shared with us that the time spent with her grandson is something she and her family will always treasure.

Caleb’s dream was to travel to Toronto, with his Mom Sharon, sister Ruth, brother-in-law Jocel and his longtime and primary nurse Tony, to see a Golden State Warrior game with his favourite player, Steph Curry.

Caleb is a mega fan and watched games religiously, and even had playoff superstitions! He’s always wanted to go to a game and meet Steph Curry.

Oneday was able to send everyone to the game in Toronto with great seats! Special thanks to Caleb’s nurse Tony for connecting with Golden State Warriors to arrange the court side meet up with Steph. They even gave Caleb a custom jersey!

Caleb’s sister Ruth said; “Thank you Oneday Dreams for all that you and everyone did to get us here. We are so extremely grateful and filled with joy.”

Kevin’s dream was to give his family an unforgettable Christmas, a meaningful moment to share with his wife Andra, their sons Ryder and Jaxon, and their loved ones. To celebrate both Christmas and Kevin’s 60th birthday, the family gathered for a special dinner at the Bow Valley Ranche Restaurant, where Kevin arrived in style thanks to a limo ride provided by AM PM Limo Calgary. In a private dining space, restaurant manager Felix and his incredible team went above and beyond, creating a beautiful evening filled with love, laughter, and connection.

The night became even more magical when close family friends Tamera and Tim surprised everyone by arriving as Mr. and Mrs. Claus, delivering thoughtful gifts and holiday cheer. One of the most emotional moments came when Kevin signed two Toronto Blue Jays baseballs with personalized messages for Ryder and Jaxon, creating keepsakes his sons will treasure forever.

After the dream, Kevin shared with us that “the whole experience was awesome. It was wonderful to be able to have this experience to make more special memories together as a family. Incredibly heart warming for me.”

We were honoured to help make this evening possible, with the support of generous partners, neighbours, and community members who came together to give Kevin and his family a Christmas they will always hold close.

Debra’s children and family have been her pillars of support in life. Sharing memories, laughing, and having meals together. Throughout her illness journey, hospital visits, bedside visits, and recovery at home, they have been supporting her every step of the way.

Debra’s dream was to have professional family portraits taken to capture the personal moments, laughter, and joy they experience when they are together. Debra’s dream took place at her home. The photographer’s time and photos were generously donated by Alesha Allen. 

A special catered family dinner was also Debra’s wish to end the day. Special thanks to Adelina Catering for donating the entire meal, and for going above and beyond the food variety and portions. Debra was able to try some dishes despite her intake challenges; “the cheesecake was amazing”. 

Jennifer ‘s dream was for a “Citizens Trip” to Newfoundland and stay at an Airbnb, celebrating her husband and stepdaughter’s having recently acquired their Canadian citizenship.

They got screeched in, took the sights of the harbour and had a wonderful dinner and stay.     

Oneday covered the flights, car rental and airbnb that was a century home in the heart of downtown St. John’s. Special thank you to Fred and Shelly for the reduced rate for their stay. 

Alex’s dream was to attend FanExpo for the first time with his friends, surrounded by the anime and animation he loves. With weekend passes, cosplay costumes, transportation, and meals provided by Oneday Dreams, and hotel rooms donated by Great Canadian Resort Toronto, his dream became a reality.

His mom shared, “He had the time of his life and made so many memories with his friends. It gave Alex a chance to be a kid again.” His friend Basir added, “It was definitely one of Alex’s highlights of the year… Alex is extremely grateful.” For Alex, this trip was not just about FanExpo, but about friendship, joy, and moments that will be cherished forever.

We are honoured to have played a part in giving Alex and his loved ones this unforgettable experience!

Eugene’s dream was simple yet profound: to go fishing one last time with his son and grandson. Fishing has always been their shared joy, a place of laughter, peace, and connection. Although his health condition keeps him confined to bed much of the time, Eugene often spoke of how “it is so nice to be at the water” and how casting a line brought him calmness like nothing else.

For Eugene, it was never just about the catch. It was about creating memories with the people he loves most, feeling the joy and peace that only a day at the lake could bring. Helping him live that dream was an honour, and a reminder of how meaningful the simplest wishes can be.

Peter has been cheering for the Toronto Maple Leafs his entire life. His dream was to have his own signed jersey from his favourite player, William Nylander. For Peter, this wasn’t just a piece of memorabilia. It was a symbol of passion, perseverance, and joy, a reminder of everything that’s kept him going, even through the hardest days.

Thanks to the generosity of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, we were able to fulfill Peter’s dream. Peter let us know that “he’s the coolest kid at Andy’s House” with his signed Willy Styles jersey!

Here’s to dreams that lift spirits and legacies that inspire.

Brent’s dream was to see the Edmonton Oilers play a home playoff game at Rogers Place, not just for himself, but for his whole family. A lifelong fan, Brent imagined it as more than a night out, it was a moment of happiness and a memory they could hold onto together.

Oneday Dreams provided Brent with four tickets to the game, and the family received a surprise visit from Hunter the Lynx, who gifted them autographed hats! It was a night full of love, laughter, and playoff magic.

“After the heaviness of the past few weeks, having a night out to simply breathe, laugh, and be together was a gift we didn’t even realize how much we needed… It brought smiles, joy, and a sense of being seen and cared for that touched us deeply.”

These are the moments that matter most. Let’s Go Oilers!
