  • Oct-Dec 2020 Mission Statement-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 cannot fulfill their requests due to financial strain that the child’s illness may cause.

    This holiday season, several Dreamers were pleasantly surprised with gifts from two automobile clubs, Valley Forge Mustang Club and South Jersey Region Antique Automobile Club of America. Thank you for spreading joy!

    Members of the Valley Forge Mustang Club delivered toys, a new winter jack, food and plenty of Christmas spirit to Grayson, 8, who has low-functioning autism. “We feel so lucky to have received such amazing gifts and food, that is one less stress for me this year,” said Grayson’s mom, Kara.

    The South Jersey Region Antique Automobile Club of America (SJRAACA) partnered with the Sunshine Foundation to send gift cards to local special needs children for Christmas. The children who received gift cards from SJRAACA are (from left to right) Marina, who has spina bifida; Tristin, with low-functioning autism; Mary, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes; and Joseph, with cerebral palsy.

    This fall, just in time

    for Nathanael’s 13th

    birthday, he received

    his wish for a shop-

    ping spree. Nathanael,

    who suffers from

    trauma, said, “The

    two pairs of sneakers

    in the photo are my

    favorite. Thank you

    again for making me

    happy, and my dream

    come true.”

    Thank you to Waste Gas Fabricating for making Nathanael’s Dream Come True!

    “Nevaeh is going to love the pool when she can get in it! We can’t thank you enough!” -- Nevaeh's mom Nevaeh, 8, who has spina bifida, can't wait until the weather turns warm again to enjoy her new above ground pool. Her dream come true was sponsored by The Batchelor Foundation; thank you!

    Ten-year-old Jerry, diagnosed with hydrocephalus, received his wish for a customized playset. Jerry’s mom said, “Jerry is really enjoying the playset. Climbing and moving around is helping so much with his strength. He looks forward to getting to go outside to his very own playground.” Jerry’s swing was sponsored by Taylor Stuart and Family, of the All Volunteer Central Florida Chapter.

    Ethan, 15, with PTSD from trauma, wished to visit local attractions and activities. “It was nice to be able to do many road trips (like Fort Knox). Ethan also purchased a game system! There were a lot of smiles and happy memories made and quality time spent as a family. Thank

    you!” -- Ethan’s Grand-mother Thank you to the Corvette Club of Delaware Valley and Corvette Enthusiasts Community Foundation for sponsoring Ethan's dream.

  • “Everything was a marvelous adventure for Cora. She wanted her picture taken with every character she saw!”

    -- Cora’s Mom Cora, with microcephaly, recently had her Dream Trip to Florida wish come true thanks to The Batchelor Foundation! Cora, 15, loved the boat and train rides, seeing Harry Potter world (she is a self-proclaimed Hufflepuff member), and seeing her favorite animal, the giraffe, up close when one came right up to their safari truck!

    Christopher, 15, with cerebral palsy, had a very happy holiday, when a Secret Santa made his Dream Shopping Spree Come True! “Christopher is enjoying several of his new t-shirts, white noise machine, new tablet for his books along with his new neck support pillow and green fuzzy positioning pillow all while chilling out on his new mattress and cooling gel memory foam topper for it (this little man is sleeping like a king!). I can’t thank you, the Foundation or the donors enough for bringing such happiness to my son!” – Stephanie, Christopher’s mom
