Our Story
Living A Dream began with a simple but powerful vision—to bring compassion back to care.
After years of working as a home manager in a large organization, our founder Tashua L. Fortson saw a troubling shift. People were no longer treated as individuals; they had become numbers. The focus on genuine care and human connection was fading, and that didn’t sit right with her.
Tashua knew there was a better way. She envisioned a place where compassion, dignity, and respect come first—a place where every person is celebrated for who they are. From that dream, Living A Dream Day was born: an agency built not on profit, but on people.

Tashua’s work is rooted in compassion, dignity, and individualized support. She is especially passionate about serving adults with developmental disabilities and creating a setting where participants feel seen, respected, and supported.
