ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. – Julian Posey was recently granted a dream from the Sunshine Foundation for a family trip to Florida Theme Parks.
Julian lives with the challenges of having low-functioning autism and an intellectual disability.
“For one week we got to just enjoy each other and catch a break from life. A week where we didn’t have to say no. A week where he wasn’t stressed and overwhelmed. A week where he got to do anything his little heart desired. A week where we got to say yes, and the sky was the limit. We couldn’t be more grateful for our trip and can’t thank the Sunshine Foundation enough!” said Julian’s mother.
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, 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 Julian’s “Dream Come True” was made possible through a generous grant from the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation.
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, 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, to refer a child, or to make a donation, please visit www.sunshinefoundation.org.
