I want to thank all of you, especially Shanty Bookmite, for taking Dreams and our group, Brigadoon Explorers, into your hearts. I have been trying to keep The Sojourner’s Dreams alive since she died 5 and a half years ago. In my heart, the sims still belong to Soj, as we who knew her called her. About three years ago, through no fault of ours, we lost our outside funding and have been struggling to find resources to keep going. Many of the regulars do not have resources to help financially, they are lucky to have the equipment to be able to log into Second Life. About the time Shanty contacted me, I had already resigned to the fact that the first week of January, we would be having our Dragon Melt and saying good bye to Dreams. Through your generosity, you have saved Dreams. I am so grateful.
Brigadoon Explorers, our autistic/Asperger’s group, is our most active support group. They have been meeting weekly for longer than I have been in Second Life. When I talked about cutting back to one sim, they were upset to lose that which was familiar to them. For them, you have enabled us to keep Soj’s discussion area, and Soj’s Place.
Dreams isn't just for our autistic group, but is open to everyone. We hold monthly building contests and currently have our holiday windows and snowmen builds going on. Yes, both those on the spectrum and neurotypicals participate on an equal level. People don't like being put into boxes and sheltered from others because of their differences. We at Dreams have proven we can be a mixed community. Please feel free to pay us a visit at any time.
I looked at the list of people who helped with the fund raiser. All I can say is WOW. Thanks again. You are all so wonderful! This has been so amazing. Thank you, thank you
