MEET THE DREAM CATCHERS

Dream Catchers started when Des Moines native and founder, Tricia Rivas, being inspired while volunteering. Rivas would use her skills as a licensed beauty professional, along with her salon’s staff, to volunteer with Hospice of Central Iowa, the local women’s shelter, and even support local veterans. After seeing how this time affected the people served, she saw a need. After researching other foundations around the US, she set out in 2013 to create her own foundation where beauty professionals would lend their talents to support those with terminal or chronic illnesses and their caregivers. With the help of other passionate Des Moines area community leaders, the the idea became a reality and Dream Catchers began in 2015.

The name, Dream Catchers, was divinely inspired. When it came to getting the idea in motion, Rivas knew it would be called Dream Catchers and had a vision of how it would all look and come together. It was specially set once she found the meaning of a dream catcher: According to legend, dreams are messages from sacred spirits. It is said that the hole in the center of the web allows the good dreams through while bad dreams are trapped in the web until they disappear in the morning sun.

Dream Catchers are believed to bless the "sleeping one" with pleasant dreams, good luck, and harmony. Dream Catcher's mission is to rejuvenate the spirit through human touch for men, women, and children. All volunteers are welcome! We need volunteers with all types of skill sets.
