Salissa’s Shopping Spree
Salissa, with low-functioning 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.
Salissa’s Diagnosis
