Bradenton, Florida -- 13th Avenue Dream Center is making a significant difference by positively impacting the lives of many children.

"They have an opportunity to see that it can be done and no one has forgotten about them," says Assistant Dean David Muhammad.

The children here say if the Dream Center didn't have its doors open, they don't know where they would be.

"They keep me active in sports, they keep me active in doing my homework... like, whenever I'm having trouble, they stop me from causing trouble," says student T'aliyah Bell.
