HOUSTON, TX. – Eleazar Magallanes, from Houston, Texas, was recently granted a dream from the Sunshine Foundation for a family trip to Central Florida’s Theme Parks.
Eleazar lives with the challenges of having hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and epilepsy, a type of newborn brain damage.
“I met many Disney characters, rode many rides, and heard many kids laughing and playing. I was happy to interact with other kids. This dream trip was an experience I will forever be grateful for. Thank you to my sponsors and the Sunshine Foundation making this dream possible for kids like me!” said Eleazar.

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.
Sunshine Foundation relies on the generosity of individuals, organizations, and corporations 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.
Eleazar’s “Dream Come True” was made possible through a generous grant from the Loughran Foundation and proceeds from the All- Volunteer Sunshine Foundation Southern Ocean County NJ Chapter’s annual fishing tournament.
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.
Since 1976, Sunshine Foundation has spread Sunshine into the lives of more than 41,900 children throughout the United States. For more information or to make a donation, please visit www.sunshinefoundation.org.
