Olivia Cichowlas was granted a Magical Dream from the Sunshine Foundation for a family trip to Florida. Olivia lives with Epilepsy and Glaucoma.

“I had a wonderful time; I enjoyed the meet and greets with the characters. Animal Kingdom was my favorite park. Thank you so much to the Sunshine Foundation for giving me the opportunity to have my dream fulfilled. This has been an amazing experience,” said Olivia, Sunshine Foundation Dreamer from Rolling Meadows, Illinois.

Sunshine Foundation answers dreams to children with life-long severe chronic illnesses and conditions such as: spina bifida, cerebral palsy, level 3 severe 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.

Olivia’s “Dream Come True” was made possible through generous donations from the Sunshine Foundation All-Volunteer Ocean City Cape Atlantic NJ Chapter and the 2022 Sunshine Foundation Gala.

You can also help make a dream come true by donating at www.sunshinefoundation.org.

The most common request is a Magical Dream to visit Legoland, Universal Studios, Disney World, and SeaWorld while choosing to stay at the Sunshine Foundation Dream Village near Disney.
