Money raised will answer the dream of Jayden, and other children. Jayden is diagnosed with low-functioning autism. Jayden loves Star Wars and dreams of visiting Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World. His mom told us “J is a happy kid whose diagnosis impacts his daily routines and makes it hard for others to understand him. He deserves a chance to experience a dream of having fun.”
Sunshine Foundation answers the dreams of children, ages three through eighteen, who have severe or profound physical/developmental/intellectual challenges or trauma from physical/sexual abuse, and whose families have limited income; life-long conditions such as spina bifida, cerebral palsy, severe low functioning autism, Down syndrome, hydrocephalus, severe epilepsy, Sickle Cell Disease, blindness, deafness, and many others. These are children that may be turned away from other wish-granting organizations that require a life-threatening or critical diagnosis.
Sunshine Foundation is the original wish-granting organization in the United States, founded in 1976. Sunshine Foundation has spread Sunshine into the lives of more than 41,600 children over the last 46 years.
Sunshine Foundation is a publicly funded charity, with donations from individuals, corporate and family foundation grants, donor advised funds, trusts and wills, fundraising events; including ones held on our behalf by all-volunteer chapters of the Sunshine Foundation, individual families, corporate and civic groups, and even former Dream recipient families “paying it forward”. For more information on how to refer a child or to make a donation, please visit www.sunshinefoundation.org.
