Salissa’s Shopping Spree
Salissa, with severe level 3 autism, dreamed of shopping for beautiful items, which she was able to do that through her Shopping Spree dream! Salissa was able to purchase new bedding, lots of clothing, and a pair of pink heart sunglasses that really make her smile shine!
Family Thank You
“At a time when things were difficult, and I was not working the whole summer, you guys gave me hope. Although we worked things out as far as the bills. It was just enough for the bills. Salissa had a chance to experience picking out the things that she wished for. And we owe it all to Sunshine Foundation…Making kids with disabilities dream a reality! ” – Salissa’s mom.
