Este juguete fue hecho a mano - igual como tu!
Wonder if Instagram will translate that correctly for you.🤔😂

(This toy was handmade - just like you) And the back reads, “God made you so special and He loves you very much!” ❤️ - accidentally channeled our veggie tale roots, but we stand by the message.

Ollie & pals are on a mission trip, and we received some sweet pics to share from the field.❤️🌎🙏🏼 Where in the world could they be?

“I’m going on a trip and in my bag I packed… 70 Sunshine pals!”🤩☀️

We can’t wait to hear from the mission teams in the Dominican Republic & Costa Rica as they come home tomorrow! Praying for their safe travels and so thankful for the time they had to minister & serve. 🙏🏼❤️🌎

Our Story

Delivering handmade wigs, beanies, and toys to little ones battling cancer or facing other great difficulties.

Our mission is to bring joy, hope, and sunshine into the lives of little warriors as they fight big battles. Our Sunshine gifts reach children in local hospitals, clinics, shelters, foster care, and in their own homes locally and abroad.

Our gifts invite children back into the world of play. They are a source of fun, laughter and security in difficult times, and they provide a means of building relationship with families who are in need of support in our community.

For our little cancer fighters: Chemotherapy treatments often leave their scalps too sensitive for traditional wigs. Sunshine Wigs and beanies are made with the softest yarn, so they’re not just fun, they’re comfy too!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>> Do you know a little one who could use a little extra sunshine in their life? Maybe a kiddo who is battling cancer or another ongoing health issue, or one whose day to day is impacted by a disability? Maybe you know a child who is navigating a season of loss or trauma. Message us to nominate a kiddo for a little handmade sunshine, and leave a brief note about the child and their situation.

The Sunshine Yarn Project is a great opportunity to sew into the lives of families as they walk through difficult seasons.

Don’t know how to knit or crochet? That’s ok! There are so many ways to help that don’t require stitching know how.

1. Praying for our kiddos and the project

2. Attending Workshops, where we tie on and style yarn hair for Sunshine Wigs, write encouraging notes, and package gifts. ~Watch our Events for future Sunshine Workshops~ NO YARN KNOWLEDGE NEEDED

>>NEW! Can’t make it to a workshop? We can bring one to you! We’ll bring the supplies and instructors, you just need to gather a group of friends who have a heart to give. Contact us if you’d like to host a Sunshine Workshop.

3. Donating- We are rely 100% on loving volunteers and donations
