About this organization
Mission
Sunshine Foundation answers the dreams of chronically ill, physically challenged and abused children ages 3-18, whose families cannot fulfill their requests due to the financial strain that their child's illness may cause. Sunshine Foundation is a national wish granting organization that answers dreams of children that have a chronic, life-long illness or medical condition rather than a critical or life-threatening diagnosis. The disadvantaged children we serve are from income-limited families and suffer from chronic conditions including: spina bifida, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, Down syndrome, profound low-functioning autism, brain and spinal injuries, Type 1 diabetes, post-traumatic stress disorder, injury from abuse, and many others.
