You can help make a child’s Dream Come True! Sunshine Foundation currently has a waiting list of almost 400 children located throughout the U.S. The most popular dream request is for a trip to the Orlando attractions. The average cost to Adopt a Dream in full is $6,000.

Listed below are the children on the waiting list. If you would like to help “Adopt a Dream” for a specific child, please make a donation and indicate the child’s name, diagnosis and city and state they are from.  Please note, if your donation is received and full sponsorship has already been attained for a particular child on the regular waiting list, the funds will be applied to another child on our waiting list.

Any and all funding received through the Adopt a Dream program will be applied towards the child’s dream as designated.  If, however, the child receives a dream/wish through any other organization while waiting for their dream to be fulfilled, funds would instead be applied towards another child on Sunshine Foundation’s waiting list.

The children shown in GREEN are linked to our Adopt a Dream Site, a crowd sourcing site that allows families to fundraise for their child.  GREEN indicates child is awaiting additional funds to reach full sponsorship.  Please donate to these children’s dreams on our Adopt a Dream Website.

BLACK means the child is on the waiting list and may not have any designated sponsorship, or may only be partially sponsored – your donation to Sunshine Foundation may help!  If your donation is not designated towards a particular child, we will simply apply your donation to another child waiting to receive their dream come true!
