Juliana’s Glamorous Wish Come True!
Juliana, diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy, ventured on a memorable shopping spree!
Juliana’s dream was simple yet profound: a shopping spree that included a trip to Sephora, where she could explore her love for beauty and self-expression. A lifetime memory was created.
Thank You
Thank you so much for helping make my wish come true! I’m incredibly grateful to the Sunshine Foundation for giving me the opportunity to go on a shopping spree—it was such a special experience that I’ll always remember.
One of the highlights of my day was visiting Sephora for the very first time. I had never been there before, and it was even more amazing than I imagined. The staff was so kind and welcoming—they helped me pick out makeup products and even did my makeup! It was so much fun and made me feel so confident and happy.
Thank you again for making this dream happen. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to me. 💛” – With gratitude, Juliana
Juliana’s Diagnosis
Juliana is diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), which is defined as a genetic disorder that starts in the central nervous system (CNS) and affects all the muscles in the body. Due to the degenerative nature of the disease, people with SMA will experience a decline in muscle strength over time, although the rate and severity can vary among individuals.
