Maria Ford was recently granted a dream from the Sunshine Foundation for a cruise trip with her family. Maria lives with the challenges of having Nephrotic Syndrome, a condition that results from excreting too much protein in urine due to a kidney disorder.
This causes swelling in ankles, feet, and around eyes, foamy urine, obesity, and fatigue.
“What I loved most about the cruise was doing the dolphin experience. I also loved going to the beach and the pool, I liked the water slides the best. I also loved the activities and shows on the cruise! It benefited me by allowing me to have this experience with my family. I would like to thank my sponsors for giving me the opportunity to experience this vacation,” said Maria of Hamilton Square, New Jersey.

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.
Maria’s “Dream Come True” was made possible through a generous donation from the Sunshine Foundation All-Volunteer Mercer County NJ Chapter and generous donors. You can also make a dream come true by donating at www.sunshinefoundation.org.
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.
