How You Can Get Involved
Wish Requests
Keep Dreaming Big Project loves saying “YES!” to Wishes submitted by our nonprofit partner agencies – so we can enrich the lives of abuse survivors and their families. The types of Wishes approved by the Keep Dreaming Big Project are as unique as the survivors themselves and focus on enriching activities that bring a sparkle of fun and hope into a survivor’s life.
Education Campaign
We support spreading awareness of financial and psychological abuse through donations of the international bestselling books Healing from Hidden Abuse and Exposing Financial Abuse: When Money is a Weapon. Resource donations are provided to U.S. public libraries, nonprofits serving survivors of abuse, licensed mental health providers, and other community-based organizations.
Community Events
We facilitate national and international public and virtual speaking events to bring global awareness of hidden psychological and financial exploitation. Keep Dreaming Big Project provides educational oppportunities to licensed mental health professionals with the goal of increasing access to quality therapeutic services with therapists who are knowledgeable of hidden abuse and able to assist survivors in finding healing.
What We Do
Keep Dreaming Big Project desires to bring global awareness to hidden abuse in the form of psychological and financial exploitation. Hidden abuse involves psychological, emotional, and financial harm against a target of the abuse. It is a type of harm that impacts all income demographics, geographical locations, languages, and cultures. The cryptic nature of hidden abuse often goes undetected by even those closest to the victim. Adults, children, and teens can be targets of hidden abuse.
Our Story
Keep Dreaming Big Project was co-founded by trauma therapist and international bestselling author Shannon Thomas. Ms. Thomas has worked with thousands of survivors of hidden abuse. The vision of Keep Dreaming Big Project came to life through this therapeutic work. Keep Dreaming Big Project is managed by an Executive Director and governed by a Board of Directors from diverse professional backgrounds, including the medical field, entrepreneurship, the financial sector, social work, and licensed mental health.
Ongoing Causes
Life Enriching Wishes
Wishes have included annual family passes to the local zoo, replacement of a beloved musical instrument destroyed in a domestic violence episode, and establishing a community garden. Through our non-profit partner agencies, we grant Wishes as unique as the survivors who receive them.
Education Campaign
Book donations of Healing from Hidden Abuse and Exposing Financial Abuse: When Money is a Weapon to local libraries help survivors access free resources. Many victims of psychological and financial abuse cannot purchase materials because of the control maintained by their abuser. We expanded our education campaign by providing two copies of Healing from Hidden Abuse and Exposing Financial Abuse to mental health professionals; one for their review and another to include as a resource for their counseling clients.
Community Events
Through international and domestic community speaking events, Keep Dreaming Big Project spreads knowledge about hidden abusive relationship patterns and how to help those impacted by this form of harm. In addition, we desire to bring an enhanced understanding and education to the mental health profession. When survivors of hidden abuse seek counseling help, Keep Dreaming Big Project hopes to have a role in creating a well-informed network of counselors and therapists.

Helping Abuse Survivors All Over The World
Keep Dreaming Big Project’s co-founder, Shannon Thomas, is the author of the bestselling book, Healing from Hidden Abuse. The resource serves as the foundation for the work completed by our organization and translated into multiple languages. Hidden abuse cuts across all geographic lines, languages, and cultures. Survivors of abuse can access the book in their own language and societal nuances in Italian, Arabic, Russian, German, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Turkish, Hungarian, Slovakian, and Vietnamese, with more resources added each year. Every new language translation infuses knowledge of psychological and financial abuse within a different region and culture.
