Hear from Angie Gorz about how Project Sunshine's Teleplay program provided a moment of fun and relief for her child and for herself.
A few years ago, my child Alex received a Project Sunshine activity kit from Shriner’s Children in Chicago. I looked up the organization on Facebook and saw that Project Sunshine was meeting virtually for special events. I signed up for our first event which was to meet Ravi Cabot-Conyers, who voiced Antonio’s character in Disney’s Encanto.
We’ve been to several more events after and Alex gets so excited when we have a session coming up. It’s something to look forward to, especially when we’re stressed from our medical appointments and procedures.
As for me, I love that Project Sunshine creates an inclusive space. It doesn’t matter that Alex has a host of disabilities. Instead, we simply get to have fun and it can be really challenging to find a community like that.
