Inquisitive soul turns into fairy godmother with Dream Factory

Inquisitive soul turns into fairy godmother

Madonna Abruzzese sat down at a Brandon Chamber of Commerce meeting 18 months ago and asked Julie Duncan one simple question: "What's Dream Factory?"

Little did she know that the query would lead to complete involvement in the upstart nonprofit group. Now as president/area coordinator of the Dream Factory of Florida, Abruzzese helps her small organization grant the dreams of critically and chronically ill children, ages 3 to 18, right here in our community.

Fulfilling dreams is like answering a prayer, and Abruzzese finds herself running the organization because she answered Duncan's prayer. Over breakfast at the Brunchery, we talked about that decision and what drives her to keep going.
