Hi everyone. We have made the sad, but necessary decision to dissolve Lawrence Sunshine Foundation. To continue to support children in foster care and their families in Northeast Kansas, please check out Foster Village Northeast Kansas. Thanks for all your support over the years!

One last push to get these wishlists fulfilled before the deadline of this Friday! Please SHARE SHARE SHARE and consider ordering something for a kiddo in foster care! (And when you share, please cut and paste the post so all the wishlist links transfer)--thank you!

Here’s the Amazon wishlists from O’Connell Children’s Shelter. The items will ship directly to the shelter and there are gift card requests as well in case they get new kids in before the holidays. They’ve asked that all gifts are ordered by December 15th and for us, preferably, the 13th so that we can finish out the lists as needed.
Thanks so much for your support and please feel free to share!

Sunshine Supporters! We’ve been asked to help out the children of O‘Connell Children’s Shelter a little differently this holiday! Instead of sponsoring individual children and wrapping/delivering gifts, each child is going to make an Amazon wish list and we are looking for supporters to fulfill that list! I’ll have more details in the next few days but would love to get some people committed to fulfilling a wish list (or two) from a kiddo! There are 35 kids and each has been asked to choose about $100 of items plus the houses will have some gift cards they are asking for to purchase extra supplies and items for the house. PM me if you think you can help with this! Let’s make some holiday magic!! And please share, share, share!!

Hi all, just wanted to remind our families who foster in Douglas County that we can provide scholarships to help with tuition for extracurricular activities for the kids in your care. If your child is interested in dance, this studio is a great and affordable option for all ages and levels. Check it out and let us know if we can help with any tuition needs!!
