The home of the Sunshine Foundation Dream Village sits across the 22 Acres of scrub oaks, tall pines, and palmettos in Loughman, Florida, a small town 15 miles west of the central Florida attractions. A permanent oasis for families to escape hospitals and needles, if only for a short time. That's why the Foundation not only flies the child and parents to the Dream Village, but also each family member that lives in the child's household, with no cost whatsoever to the family.
Sunshine pays for airfare, transportation, lodging, meals, and tickets to the attractions.
Families arrive on Thursday and leave on Monday. The Dream Village is a fairy tale setting with seven gingerbread cottages, each with it's own unique theme. Our Children Poolside Sunshine children and their families can take a dip in the Olympic-sized pool, complete with a wheelchair accessible ramp. The village playground is setup so children in wheelchairs can have just as much fun as their able-bodied playmates. A therapeutic riding center along with many other attractions are currently underway.
