An Arkansas boy was recently granted a dream from the Sunshine Foundation for a family trip to Florida’s Theme Parks.
Bennett Pate lives with the challenges of having Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, a condition in which the optic nerve is underdeveloped.
“Bennett had such a good trip! He was all smiles and giggles. Thank you so much!” said Bennett’s mother, Kayla.
Sunshine Foundation answers dreams to children with life-long chronic conditions such as spina bifida, cerebral palsy, profound low-functioning 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.
Bennett’s “Dream Come True” was made possible through a generous donor.
The most common request is a Magical Dream to visit Disney World, Legoland, SeaWorld, and Universal Studios while choosing to stay at the Sunshine Foundation Dream Village near Disney.
Sunshine Foundation also answers Special Dreams: shopping sprees, computers and iPads, outdoor playsets, above ground swimming pools, family trips, cruises, adaptive tricycles and other special needs equipment, plus many more.
Since 1976, Sunshine Foundation has spread Sunshine into the lives of more than 41,900 children throughout the United States. For more information or to make a donation, please visit www.sunshinefoundation.org.
