My Big Dream seeks to provide vocational, spiritual, occupational, and emotional support, and future housing to enhance the lives of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. My Big Dream was founded as a non-profit organization in June 2021 in New Bern, North Carolina. At My Big Dream the adults with IDD are called our ‘friends’. Examples of IDD are Autism, Down Syndrome, Fragile X Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
For most adults living with intellectual or developmental disabilities in Eastern North Carolina the opportunities for education and work are limited. Additionally, their parents or caretakers live with the worry of who will take care of them when the time comes where care is too much for them or the parent(s) is to pass away.
Currently, My Big Dream meets on one night a week at a local church and creates Holiday themed products, such as door hangers, Christmas ornaments. The First Friends and Family pop up sale occurred on Tuesday, October 19, and $800+ worth of merchandise was sold out within 45 minutes. My Big Dream has also made a cookbook that is for sale online, has partnered with OneHope Wineries and will host future pop-up shops to sell items.
