Leslie Sanchez Blancas, a young Chicago girl living with Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome, had her dream of a family trip to Central Florida’s theme parks fulfilled by the Sunshine Foundation.
Leslie’s mother expressed her overwhelming joy, saying, “This dream trip has been a dream come true for Leslie and our family. I have never seen Leslie so excited and happy until coming to Florida. Seeing her happy to meet the princesses, riding rides, enjoying fireworks, and seeing Cinderella’s castle were all her favorite moments at Walt Disney World. Thank you so much for making my little girl so happy and giving her this wonderful opportunity.”
