d Project (2024-present): Established three mini libraries for children at Halo Ministry Shelter (homeless), the Life Crisis Center (victims of domestic abuse) and the Believe In Tomorrow Children's House by the Sea (a respite home for critically ill children and their families). Warm Hands Warm Hearts Winter Wear Drive (2013-pressent): Annual donation drive of winter wear items for those in need. This year, over 4300 items were donated. History:
Be The Sunshine (originally Kind Kids ) was a regional, motivational and inspirational program with the goal of teaching others to spread positive energy and kindness 2012-2024. The original Kind Kids program was created and founded in 2012 by 10 year old Stephanie Brilliant. Over the past 12 years, Kind Kids has been seen across the Delmarva region organizing community events and creating a general sense of good will. Projects have included the Kind Kids Princess Tea Party to benefit the Believe In Tomorrow Children's House By The Sea (for critically ill children), the Kind Kids Halloween Spooktacular to benefit the Believe In Tomorrow Children's House By The Sea, The Warm Hands, Warm Hearts Winter Clothing Drive to benefit Halo Outreach and the Delmar Elite Adopt A Family Program, pet supply drives for the Humane Society of Wicomico County and sock drives. Stephanie has also inspired many young people through her Kindness in the Classroom reading program. In early 2025, Shine A Light was formed to help spread positivity and encouragement to those with chronic illness, like MS.

MS Awareness month is coming to an end, but spreading awareness for MS is a lifelong journey for me! I’m resharing this post that explains my personal journey with MS, and hopefully some inspiration for others living with a chronic illness.
You are loved, you are valued, and you can do great things!🦋✨

I wanted to share my personal experience with Multiple Sclerosis and my positive outlook.
At the age of 13, I developed tingling and numbness in my left hand and feet, and after MRIs I was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis.
Since then, I have:
- temporarily lost my eye sight( blind completely in one eye)
-temporarily gone numb in legs and feet (my feet are tingly as we speak 😂)
-had countless migraines
-battled with fatigue
-numerous MRIs and blood tests
-and the list goes on.
But in that time span, I’ve also:
-started and graduated high school
-played soccer, cheered, and Irish-step danced
-served in my community
-joined a sorority
-kept & made lifelong friends
-lived by myself in Spain
-met my love
-graduated college with a degree
-found my passions
-gone on trips with my family
-started the job I’ve always dreamed of
-learned line-dancing
-and this list goes on as well.
Yes, the journey with MS is life-long, but there is so much to be thankful for along the way. I count my blessings as I know there is always someone out there who is experiencing worse.
I hope this project is bringing hope, joy, and inspiration to those who also live with a chronic illness. You are loved, you are valued, and you are capable of great things! 🦋💗✨
