Edwin’s Dream Adventure

Edwin, who lives with level 3 severe autism, recently experienced a magical dream trip to Universal Orlando Resort and Walt Disney World with his family! From meeting beloved characters to exploring thrilling attractions, Edwin’s smile lit up every moment. It was a joyful escape filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable memories. During their visit, they enjoyed staying at the Sunshine Foundation Dream Village in the LEGO cottage.

Thank you from Edwin’s Family

“This has been an amazing experience for my son Edwin and my family. The LEGO cottage was so bright and fun for Edwin, who loves colors. The theme parks were fun, and Edwin loved all the characters. This has been a wonderful trip, thank you to everyone who made it happen.” – Edwin’s Mom.
