Hello! My name is Dr. Phil. My wife, Rhonda, and I have been married for 48 years. Our first child was born to us 45 years ago and we were told by the doctors that she was a Down’s syndrome child who
would have significant disabilities.
This came to us as a tremendous surprise, leaving us in utter disbelief.
My wife and I were told by the doctors that they would give us a death certificate and that we would go home from the hospital without our little baby girl. Then she would be placed in a nearby institution to live
out her few years of life.
We could not believe what we were hearing! Despite being told she would never walk, cry, or be sociable, we knew in our hearts that leaving the hospital without her would be impossible.
A few days later we would leave the hospital with our little Down’s syndrome daughter in our arms and begin a journey that many parents today are traveling. Through our experience and the experiences of many others whom we’ve met over the last 45 years, we’ve realized the tremendous need for social and relational settings where these individuals and families
can find support, empathy, and hope.
The Sunshine Center was birthed to strategically address the needs, desires, and interests of families that have children or siblings with disabilities.
It has been our joy over the past 45 years to see our Sunshine bring joy and happiness to so many people who have met her. Our goal is to continue providing compassionate help and hope at the Sunshine Center to
many more families!

Churches, schools, and other significant learning organizations should be a warm, welcoming, and safe space for everyone who is looking for a nurturing and inviting community.

Churches, schools, and other significant learning organizations should be a warm, welcoming, and safe space for everyone who is looking for a nurturing and inviting community.
Unfortunately, barriers exist that hinder families from making genuine connections in these places. This challenge is probably most felt by parents who have children with autism and other learning disabilities.
After many years of successful
implementation, The Sunshine
Center seeks to expand its reach
throughout northwest Indiana and the Midwest to equip local churches, educational institutions, and non- profits who desire to serve families of those with learning disabilities.
