Bruce Johnson of Newards, New Jersey, was granted a Special Dream from the Sunshine Foundation for a family trip to the American Dream Mall. Bruce lives with the challenges of bilateral hearing loss, which is hearing loss in both ears.
“Bruce and I would like to thank the Sunshine Foundation and all the donors. This trip allowed Bruce to enjoy activities such as an amusement park and water park that he would not have been able to do. He had a nonstop smile! We are so blessed for the entire experience. We cannot thank you enough,” said Bruce’s mom, Amy.
Bruce said, “I loved the entire trip. It’s hard for me to pick just one. I enjoyed the amusement park as I’ve never been able to experience it. I also loved riding on electric animals and chasing my mom and Aunt Angie. It was so fun.”
Sunshine Foundation answers dreams to children with life-long severe chronic illnesses and conditions such as: spina bifida, cerebral palsy, Level 3 severe autism, Down syndrome, hydrocephalus, severe epilepsy, Sickle Cell Disease, blindness, deafness, trauma from abuse, and others.
To make these dreams a reality for children that may be turned away from other wish-granting organizations that require a life-threatening or critical diagnosis, Sunshine Foundation relies on the generosity of individuals, organizations, and corporations. Bruce’s “Dream Come True” was made possible through generous donations from Sunshine Foundation All-Volunteer New Castle DE Chapter.
