Who We've Helped

For everything we complete on our list we help a stranger complete something on their list. We’ve found that helping 1 person with their dream is more rewarding than completing 10 of your own. Below are some stories of people we’ve helped during our travels. Some cases are ongoing if you want to get involved. If you know someone that needs help, let us know HERE.

If you’d like to help us with something on our list, email Ellen and ask her to have us on her show to help us cross off #79:Dance with Ellen DeGeneres
