Quenton’s Dolphin Encounter
Quenton’s Dream Told by His Mom…
My family and I have just returned home from an experience of a lifetime! How can I ever say thank you enough, Sunshine Foundation. My son, Quenton is 12 yrs old and has Mitochondrial Myopathy, and Chairi 1 malformation. Quen has been in and out of hospitals for many years now, and is adjusting to the lifestyle changes because of his illness. He is such a great kid, so smart and funny. He loves school, animals, and his video games. Quen has many friends and is the “Go to Guy”, when it comes to video or gaming questions.
As Quen’s mother I love everything about him (of course). He is so brave, and has found ways to be completely content with not being able to run around with his friends, ride a bike, climb lots of stairs, and play sports. We have wanted to do something for Quen for many years, something he would always remember, or that would lead to opening a whole new world to him. To believe, he can be anything he puts his mind to. Be glad that your favorite subjects are science, space and social studies.
Please know without the Sunshine Foundation, I may have never seen that look in Quen and his fathers eyes as they played in the water, played putt-putt, and just sat on the couch and played some one on one father- son video games. I will always treasure that memory, and I know that Bryan , my husband feels the same. These dreams build up the children, true. It also builds up the family. Thank you again, and may God Bless you all for what you do for others.
