Sunshine Foundation Refer A Child

Refer a Child
Please note: Before referring a child to the Sunshine Foundation you must have permission from the child's parent(s) or legal guardian(s).
After we receive the referral, we will mail an application to the child's parents within two weeks. If the family does not receive the application within two weeks, please call us at 215-396-4770.
Please be sure to complete the box for "Your Name." Anonymous referrals will not be honored. Thank you!

Criteria to Refer a Child:
- The child must between the ages of 3-18.
- The child must be seriously or terminally ill, physically challenged or abused.
- Sunshine does not fulfill requests for children who have had a previous dream granted by any other organization.
-Sunshine's sole purpose is to answer the dreams of seriously or terminally ill, physically challenged or abused children whose families cannot fulfill their requests due to the financial strain that the child's illness may cause. For this reason, families with incomes at or above $75,000 a year cannot be considered.
-Please note: For financial reasons, Sunshine Foundation can no longer consider dreams for children with deficit disorders, mild to moderate developmental delays, or mild to moderate autism (only children with severe to profound autism will be considered).

PROGERIA REFERRALS:
For inclusion into the Progeria Reunion, the child must be 3 years old or older and have been diagnosed with Hutchinson-Guilford Progeria Syndrome.
