Do my donations go directly to help the child I select?
YES. Your donation to Sunshine Foundation will support the dream of the child you select, along with a portion to cover administrative expenses to process the child’s dream. If the funding for that particular child’s dream exceeds the goal required to fulfill the dream, the additional funding will be used by the Sunshine Foundation to support another child on our waiting list. All donations are subject to the policies of the Sunshine Foundation.
How are you associated with the Sunshine Foundation?
This website is solely owned and operated by Sunshine Foundation; we created it in an effort to allow children from our waiting list to be directly helped through crowd-sourced funding. This gives the ability to parents, friends, and relatives of the children to spread the word and have their dreams fulfilled more quickly.

Can I adopt an entire dream?

Can anyone spread the word about any child?
YES. We encourage everyone to use their social media resources to help our children!
