About

Stichting Droomdag provides individual dream days — days full of surprises tailored entirely to the wishes and dreams of the family — for families where a parent is oncologically and/or life-threateningly ill. Volunteers accompany the family throughout the day, taking over as many care tasks as possible and documenting the day in photos and video. The foundation focuses particularly on two moments: during the diagnosis and treatment period, and when the ill parent is in a terminal stage. Over 1,200 families have already experienced a dream day.

Mission

Stichting Droomdag organises dream days for families with children under 16 years old where a parent is seriously or life-threateningly ill, creating lasting memories on a crucial day.

Stichting Droomdag was founded in 2011 by Mary van Dueren-van der Meer, a married mother of three children who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004. After a long period of operations, radiation, hormone treatments and chemotherapy, she noticed that while many initiatives existed to organise special days for families with a seriously ill child, there were none for families with a seriously ill parent. Based on her own personal experience, she decided to found Stichting Droomdag. On 9 August 2015, Mary van Dueren-van der Meer passed away at the age of 51 after her battle with cancer. Her dream became the foundation's mission.
