About Precious Dreams Foundation

About Co-Founder Nicole Russell

PDF Executive Director Nicole Russell was inspired to advocate for children in transition by her foster sister, who suffered from recurring night terrors. Her fears were eventually relieved when she learned a bedtime routine from Russell's mother. Not all children in transition are as fortunate—they are alone and in need of comfort. Many have been abused, abandoned and neglected. Russell saw the need to comfort those children, so they could have a precious night's sleep, and the dream of a better tomorrow. Her vision has been widely recognized,including by O Magazine, the New York Observer, Glamour, and the Today Show. In 2018 she was named a TIAA Difference Maker. Under Russell's direction and with the help of over 2,200 volunteers, PDF a 501(c) (3) organization) has served thousands of children in New York City and beyond. Additional chapters have opened in Baltimore, Los Angeles and South Florida.
