OUr Mission *
We tell real stories of struggle and strength, turning compassion into action through the One Dollar Dream. Our mission is to prove that even the smallest act of giving—one story, one dollar—can rewrite someone’s tomorrow.
We shine a light on the quiet battles families are fighting and invite the world to help carry the weight. It’s not just charity—it’s proof that when hearts move together, hope rises again.
Why The $1 Dream Exists
I’ve watched good, deserving people fall through the cracks... and I kept thinking, what if it’s not about how much we give, but how many of us do?
We’re not waiting for billionaires or systems.
We’re showing up—one person, one dollar, one act at a time.
The $1 Dream was born to prove something simple:
That people still care.
That unity still exists.
That even when the world feels loud, divided, and hopeless— we can still be the ones who make it a better place.
You don’t need to have a lot to make a difference.

Every dollar given goes directly to helping someone with a real need and a real story.
We don’t randomly choose names from a list.
We ask. We listen. We learn. We share.
We find people who’ve been overlooked—those on the edge, the ones fighting quiet battles—and we show up for them as a community.
Each story is shared not for attention, but for connection.
We document the journey—through photos, videos, and updates—so you can feel where your dollar went.
You’re not just giving.
You’re witnessing hope unfold in real time.
A quick note before you donate:
Givebutter automatically adds a tip to support their platform—you can change this to $0.
They also take a 30¢ fee per transaction.
If you’re able, please consider covering the fee so we can receive your full $1.
And if you really want to make it count, make it monthly! $1 a month helps the mission continue long after today.
why the one dollar dream was born:
This didn’t start as a project. It started with grief.
On December 23, 2023, my wife’s father passed away from glioblastoma brain cancer — one of the toughest battles anyone can face. Losing him changed everything for us.
This nonprofit, and the One Dollar Dream movement, were born from that loss. This is our way of keeping his spirit alive — by helping families who are fighting their own battles, spreading hope, and making sure no one has to face any of it alone.
One year after he passed, we decided to do something small in his honor: raise $1,000 to help a family struggling during Christmas. We chose Brittainy and Fatu Moala — and every moment of that journey was documented on my Instagram.
But somehow, just 20 days later, we had raised over $60,000.
It didn’t feel real. But it did feel like proof.
Proof that people still care.
Proof that when the right story meets the right heart, anything is possible.
And from that moment on, we never stopped. What began as an act of healing has become our passion — using stories, community, and compassion to remind the world just how powerful we can be when we come together.
One dollar.
One act of belief.
One dream only possible TOGETHER.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you!
Thank you for taking a moment to consider joining this movement. What began as a way to honor my wife’s father has turned into something so much bigger than we ever imagined.
Your willingness to be here and to believe in this with us, means more than you know.
You’re helping turn our pain into purpose.
We may have started this—but you’re the reason it’s real.
With all of our love and gratitude,
Devin & Jordan
