A Maryland girl, Lauren Bell, was recently granted a dream from the Sunshine Foundation for a family trip to Central Florida’s Theme Parks.
Lauren lives with the challenges of having cerebral palsy, epilepsy, deafness, and asthma.
“Lauren and I would really like to thank everyone who helped make her dream to Disney come true! We both had an amazing fun-filled week. She enjoyed each park and I think her favorite exhibit was the laugh factory at Magic Kingdom. Each ride made her smile. I am thankful she was able to have a week free from doctors and appointments. We were able to take our time to enjoy life with each other,” said Lauren’s mother, Danielle.

Sunshine Foundation answers dreams to children with life-long chronic conditions such as spina bifida, cerebral palsy, profound low-functioning (Level 3) 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. Lauren’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.
