The Dreamcatcher Program is a wish-granting initiative created by the T.J. Community Mission Foundation to serve critically and terminally ill individuals across south-central Kentucky. As the only program of its kind in the region, Dreamcatcher offers moments of joy, meaning, and peace to those facing life’s most difficult challenges. Each Dream is carefully considered and personally tailored to bring inspiration and hope to the recipient and their loved ones—creating memories that last far beyond the moment.
Local Focus, Lasting Impact
The program is dedicated specifically to individuals in the south-central Kentucky area, ensuring that the support offered is personal, accessible, and rooted in community care.
Meaningful Dreams, Compassionately Granted
Applicants may request experiences in categories like “I wish to GO,” “I wish to MEET,” or “I wish to GIVE,” with each wish providing emotional healing and lasting impact.
Support for Families
One loved one is invited to participate in each Dreamcatcher experience, with program coverage extended to both the recipient and their guest.
Respectful and Dignified Process
Applications are reviewed with compassion and care, and every step—from medical verification to wish planning—is handled with respect, confidentiality, and empathy.
About the Dreamcatcher Project
The Dreamcatcher Program was Drs. Bharati & Bharat Mody’s dream for children recovering from critical illness. It has since grown to serve other patients recovering from terminal illnesses.
Drs. Mody are the lead sponsor and will continue to support the Dreamcatcher to sustain it for the future.
The Dream Catcher program helps make special experiences possible for children and families. Here are some examples of what a Dream Catcher experience might include:
Special Sport Events
Attending a University of Kentucky basketball game, a Nashville Titans game, a BG Hot Rods game, or visiting the Corvette Museum.
Animals & Nature
Exploring the Louisville Zoo or taking a trip to Yellowstone National Park.
Special Journeys
Visiting the Washington Monuments, the Statue of Liberty, or going on a train ride in Bardstown.
Outdoor Adventures
Kayaking at Red River Gorge or spending time at Cumberland Falls.
