Finding Life After Loss
Healing Children that have been impacted by violence
Identify Your Dream Foundation was created in 2015, in honor of Dean J. Samuel, an incredible young man from Pontiac, whose life was violently cut short, leaving a young son fatherless. The foundation was birthed to not only encourage youth who have violently lost loved ones to SURVIVE but to also empower them to THRIVE. IDYD teaches children to identify the gift that is deposited inside, unlocking the hidden treasure that brings awareness to life after loss: through HOPE and PURPOSE.
