Everleigh’s Enchanting Experience
Everleigh, who has Chromosome 12q 15 deletion syndrome, received the “royal treatment” on her dream trip to Disney World with her family. She and her sisters will always cherish the joyous moments they shared with the Fairy Godmother at the Sunshine Foundation Dream Village. They learned how to bow to a princess and happily used their new skill with every princess they met.
Thank you from Everleigh’s Family
“Thank you so much to the Sunshine Foundation and our generous sponsor for an unforgettable trip to Disney World! Everleigh had the most magical time meeting all the princesses and making memories that will last a lifetime. One of her favorite moments was when the Fairy Godmother taught her and her sisters how to bow to a princess—they made sure to bow to every princess they met! We were warmly welcomed by Mariah and Wanda, and everything at the Dream Village felt truly magical. We are so grateful for this amazing foundation and all the joy it brings to families like ours. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!” – Everleigh’s mom
