About
Who are we and Why are we here?Sean's Dream is a 501 (c)3 mental health nonprofit located in Orange County, New York. Our focus is supporting individuals by providing the basic necessities like clothing and toiletries while on a path to mental health wellness and substance use recovery. We do this in honor of Sean O'Connor who passed away in 2020 from an overdose while suffering from mental health illnesses. We also do this in honor of all the souls gone to soon so that we can honor them in a way that shows the world that its okay to ask for help with the basics because we are all worthy of feeling comfort in our moments of need. Most times those who need the help the most stay silent because they feel they are a burden, we are here to SHOW them that they are not a burden and they are worthy of love, comfort and dignity.
What do we do?
Our organization provides support through donating gently used or new clothing to individuals in need. We use our community programs, social media platform, fundraisers, and collaborations with support-specific companies to fulfill the needs of those in recovery. We partner with local care management organization's, SUD Recovery facilities, hospitals, senior centers, and other non profits to make sure that our clients and their clients can start their new life path with dignity and comfort. Our efforts, collaborations and resources provide an increase in financial gains, program adherence, self motivation and self confidence. Our clients feel supported, seen and heard. We follow their progress and connect them to other resources that they may need along the way.
Our volunteers are members of the community who have walked the same path, are family members of individuals in need or students who are looking to learn about giving back to their community. We are an action based organization that fully believes in service above self. We all have the same destination of success with different beautiful paths to get there.
