A Magical Dream Comes True: Dominic’s Unforgettable Journey
This week, we have the pleasure of highlighting the incredible story of Dominic, a young boy who recently embarked on a life-changing adventure known as the Magical Dream trip, courtesy of the Sunshine Foundation. Diagnosed with severe level 3 autism, Dominic’s journey was made possible through the sponsorship of the All-Volunteer Hammonton Wishing Well Chapter.
Dominic’s magical journey took him to the enchanting Dream Village and Disney World, where dreams truly come to life. The Sunshine Foundation, known for its commitment to fulfilling the dreams of children facing serious illnesses or challenges, orchestrated this once-in-a-lifetime experience for Dominic and his family.

Thank you to Dominic’s sponsors and the Sunshine Foundation for your generosity.” Her words capture the profound impact this experience had on their lives.
Dominic’s Diagnosis

Children with level 3 autism have limited or no speech, restricted social communication skills and sensory processing issues. They require a higher level of support and supervision through their lifetime.
