Give them the chance to Shine
In a world that isn't built for disabilities, a Shine Dream changes everything.
“As a mom to four very different kids - two who live with cerebral palsy, you have to plan, support, and advocate for opportunities that help others see the potential that you see in your child.
When Shay received his racing wheelchair and when Ciaran was matched with his service dog named Llew, their Dreams weren’t just moments of joy, they opened their world to greater possibilities. Their individual Shine Dreams told my sons: you belong, you matter, and you’re not alone. It told me that we had a community around us. People who believed in our kids just as much as we do.
Shay and Ciaran’s Shine Dreams gave us all hope that the world might finally be catching up to how much value differences bring to it.” – Liza, proud Shine mom.

So why should you give?
Because for every “Shay” and “Ciaran”, there’s another young person living with severe physical disabilities who is waiting for THEIR own dream. Someone who is still hoping for the chance to have a Dream come true.
YOUR gift will give them this chance.
Shine Dreams are more than one-time gifts. They open doors to independence, identity, and inclusion. They tell young people living with severe physical disabilities: “You matter. You belong. Your voice is important. A brighter future is possible.”
When you donate to Shine, you’re joining a community of people who see ability, not limitation. You’re saying “yes” to more Dreams - Dreams that transform lives not just for young people, but for entire families.
Read Shay, Ciaran, and Liza’s stories to learn about their lives and see the impact that your generosity makes.
Then, help another young person realize their Dream.
