We are so happy to be back!

Westman Dreams for Kids has been unable to fundraise for roughly 17 months now. We are so excited to get back into the community and get back on track helping families and making dreams come true!

We are looking for volunteers to join us at this years Food Truck Warz! If you are interested and have a couple hours to spare we would very much appreciate some help.

If you are interested DM us here on Facebook or through our webpage wdfk.ca

Again, we can’t wait to see you! Our board and advisors will be the first faces you see as you enter this amazing event! We hope to see you all out enjoying all the wonderful food and rides that will be happening at this years Food Truck Warz!

We have the privilege of knowing this amazing little family ❤️ We encourage you all to have a listen to the Conscious & Confidential pod cast and hear about the life and struggles that they face each day.

I must warn you to grab your tissues though, your heart strings will be pulled.

Our team had an in person board meeting for the first time since the beginning of the Covid 19 pandemic. It was wonderful to be able to see each other once again.

We understand that this year will again be another challenging year for us but we are hopeful that we will be able to have a 2021 McDonalds Classic ⛳️

We are still far away and will keep a close eye on new regulations and restrictions in place. In some capacity we hope to see you all on July 8th at the Wheat City Golf Course!

Lisa from Tundra Oil and Gas stopped by to drop off an amazing donation this week. We would like to thank this team for helping us support families in Westman that have children living with serious health concerns ❤️

*in their words*

This cheque represents the donation of funds from our Tundra Oil & Gas Partnership Virden field & office staff’s annual United Way fundraising campaign.

The funds we raise annually in our campaign are donated directly to charities in the communities where we live and work.

We hope this donation will assist with your continued efforts to improve the quality of life for families in our communities.

In the last year we haven’t been able to send any of our Dreams kids on their Dream vacations but that doesn’t mean we haven’t still been helping families in Westman!

This is Aiden!

Aiden is a kind hearted, energetic, loving 12-year-old boy who was Dx with low functioning Autism when he was just 2.5 years old but that has not stopped him from living his best life!

That smile on his face says everything, with him riding his own custom-made bike gifted by Westman Dreams for Kids and built by Freedom Concepts!

He can now enjoy the independence of riding his bike without the fear of falling off and the ease of enjoying what life has to offer him on the open roads (or bike paths in his case😉)

He has always been curious about riding a bike but was never able to figure out the balancing part of it, the stopping part and everything in between! With his new bike…all that worry from both him and us are gone.

Thank you to Westman Dreams for Kids (& his Grandma & Grandpa for the nomination!) for allowing our Aiden to enjoy even more independence than he already does & for all four of us (& our dog Aero), to finally enjoy a family bike ride, for what I’m sure will be, years to come😃

Forever grateful,
Melanie, Curtis, Avah & Aiden

I think of these kids very often, a thought or two running through my mind at some point each day. I think of their families, moms, dads and siblings. I wanted to let these families know that their children are remembered, engraved in my heart. I am thinking of these little ones Westman Dreams for Kids has lost this Christmas ❤️ Makayla, Nathan, Elizabeth and Sophie❤️ - Angie

With Covid happening right now everyone is spending much more time at home. It’s especially difficult for families with immune compromised children. Today we didn’t grant a dream but had the privilege to take one of our dreams families out for a trail ride. It was a wonderful day and I know the young man enjoyed it! We certainly did ❤️
Thank you Westshore Marine and C and C Rentals for letting us borrow a couple side by sides! #bdnmb #westman

Always love seeing this little Dreams kid! Cash is doing so well and is growing up to be such a great young man. With the help of his family over the summer he helped raise an amazing donation for Westman Dreams for Kids. Thanks Cash & the Didluck clan for all of their efforts this summer❤️

Tonight’s the night!
Presented by Precision Toyota Westman is going to enjoy an amazing drive in movie!

We want to thank Precision Toyota for choosing Westman Dreams for Kids to receive the proceeds of the donations made by all attending tonight. Thank you so much everyone for helping us out during these difficult times. We would also like to thank Tweedia Social Media for putting together our thank you to be presented before the movie begins.

We hope everyone is enjoying their summer and is staying safe and healthy. Have an amazing time tonight to those who are joining us. We will see you there!

Didluck Enterprise is out today with some friends to kick off the Didluck Enterprise golf challenge in support of Westman Dreams for Kids! With just this group they raised an awesome $500 donation!! They have made nominations and challenged some of their other friends to see if their score today can be beat!! With their $50 donation today at Deer Ridge Golf Course they received a discounted green fee and half off their cart rentals. You are able to make a donation at the course and we will issue a tax receipt. We appreciate both Richard Didluck for this great idea and Deer Ridge for offering weekly prizes and great deals for all the participants. Also participating is Wheat City Golf Course! They have prizes and deals for this challenge too!!

Also pictured is Richard’s son Cash! About 7 years ago, young cash fought a tough battle and won! Westman Dreams for Kids got to send him and his family to the most magical place on earth, Disney!! We are always happy to see him and know that he’s healthy, happy and doing what most kids his age are doing, chirping dad about his golf game.

We had another amazing sponsor come on board to support our fundraising for the Westman Dreams for Kids Accessibility Park! This is a huge donation of $30,000 and we are incredibly thankful to have Brandon Area Community Foundation backing us on this amazing project in Westman ❤️ Laura has been an absolute delight working with, thank you so much for all your help. We would also like to thank their board of directors for believing in this project and choosing Westman Dreams for Kids for this wonderful donation.

Many people have followed this young ladies journey ❤️ we are saddened to let you all know that Makayla started her new journey with the angels this past weekend with her family by her side.

We are honoured to have spent some time with Makayla and her amazing parents.

Our thoughts are with her family, she had an amazing group of people with her always and was surrounded by so much love 💕

We are so incredibly lucky to have the very best Elsa to bring smiles to children’s faces. Today Elsa called one of our Dreams kids to read her a book over FaceTime and was just fantastic ❤️ thank you @abbigaylsmith for being so wonderful #bdnmb #makingdreamscometrue #elsa #thebest

Next on our list of dedicated supporters is our friend Darcy at Just for Kids! We can always count on him joining us at Children’s Country Fair and McHappy Day. He’s also been kind enough to donate the Just 4 Kidz space for our Kids Christmas party!

On the anniversary of her 20th year with Westman Dreams for Kids this amazing volunteer has stepped down from her position on our advisory board.

We want to thank Barb Scott for her years of volunteering with Westman Dreams for Kids. She has helped so many families over the last 20 years granting Dreams in Westman as well as countless hours of volunteer time for many of our Westman Dreams events.

We will miss seeing you Barb!

Congrats Tammy!

Last nights ceremonial face off with the @wpgbluebomberscfl and dream kid Kynley ❤️ it was such an honour to the one to hold her little hand and walk her on the ice #bdnmb #westman @bdnwheatkings

Last night at the Brandon Wheat Kings Bomber night, our guest of honour was the beautiful little Kynley.
Kynley is only in grade 1 and has undergone multiple open heart surgeries and around 10 additional surgeries in her little life. Right now she is on the heart transplant list, we sure hope she gets that new heart soon too.
Kynley was so brave last night going on to the ice to drop the puck and stole thousands of hearts in that moment. She really is the sweetest and cutest little girl ❤️ Thank you to this family for joining us last night ❤️
