The Case for
Giving Back
At MortgageCon, we've always believed that the most powerful thing we can do is show up for people. This year, we're taking that beyond the industry. MortgageCon 2027 is proud to partner with the Dream Machine Foundation — and we think once you hear their story, you'll want to be part of it too.
Donate to Dream MachineYou'll Hear From Him On Stage. Here's Why He Matters Off It.
Charlie Rocket is one of our MortgageCon 2027 keynote speakers — and if you think his energy on stage is something, wait until you hear what he built off of it.
At rock bottom, facing depression, at 305 lbs, and diagnosed with a brain tumor, Charlie held onto one thing: a dream. Over the next 12 months, he ran 4 marathons, completed an Ironman, lost 125 pounds, and reversed his tumor. His dream saved his life.
So he dedicated the rest of it to making dreams come true for others. That commitment became the Dream Machine Foundation.
What Is the Dream Machine Foundation?
The Dream Machine Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that uses the power of community and social media to make life-changing dreams come true for people who need it most. Since 2018, they have raised over $5 million for dreamers across America — getting homeless individuals off the streets, helping children with disabilities launch businesses, rebuilding homes after natural disasters, and so much more.
What makes them different isn't just what they do. It's how they do it: through an "Army of Love" — a community of over 9 million donors, followers, and volunteers who collectively make the impossible possible.
Featured on Oprah, Good Morning America, CNN, TMZ, and Entertainment Tonight. Supported by Oprah Winfrey, Steve Harvey, Steph Curry, Mike Tyson, Travis Barker, Jamie Kern Lima, Marcus Lemonis, and more.
Donations go directly toward making individual dreams come true for people who are sick, disabled, or in crisis. Every single dollar is deployed for dreamers — not overhead.
Each dream fulfilled costs approximately $10,000 on average — covering experiences, medical needs, business launches, and life-changing moments for real people in real need.
Charlie Rocket draws no salary from the Dream Machine Foundation. He made a commitment that his compensation would never come at the expense of the mission — so when you give, it goes to the people who need it, not the people running it.

Dreams They've Made Real
Rubi & Charlee
Two young girls, both battling cancer, who became best friends in the hospital. They both told Dream Machine their dream was to visit Hawaii. Dream Machine surprised them — seated side by side on the plane to Hawaii.
Grayson
Born blind, 10-year-old Grayson was selling lemonade to save for his dream trip to 'see' the Great Wall of China. Dream Machine threw him a giant lemonade stand where 500 people showed up — including Travis Barker, who played drums with Grayson on stage.
Matthew
Matthew has cerebral palsy and dreamed of launching an inspirational clothing brand. Dream Machine helped him launch VAKP (Violets Are Kinda Purple), which sold over $350,000 of clothing — and earned a collaboration with Mike Tyson.
Lyla
Nine-year-old Lyla has CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) and bakes to distract herself from the pain. Her dream was to open a cookie business. Dream Machine helped her launch it — she sold over $500,000 of baked goods and used the proceeds to fund her own medical treatment.
These are just a few of the thousands of lives changed by the Dream Machine community. Every dollar donated adds fuel to their Army of Love.
