As a member of this Make-A-Wish® community, we know how much you care about granting wishes for kids facing the mental health struggles – including anxiety and depression – that come alongside critical illnesses. 

The sad news is that we weren't able to reach our $150,000 goal in honor of Children's Mental Health Awareness Month. So we’re giving supporters like you – who haven’t had a chance to donate toward this crucial goal yet – one more chance to help us close the gap:

Please, can wish kids count on you to rush a gift now so we can provide more of them with much-needed hope and strength as they go through dark, difficult medical journeys?

When you make a gift before this rare deadline extension ends at midnight, you will be supporting kids like 10-year-old Bryce – who was diagnosed with sickle cell disease. Simple activities like walking and playing outside would trigger his immune system, leaving him isolated from his friends and classmates. 

When his wish to have a toy poodle puppy was granted, it brought him much-needed companionship and joy as he grows up with a critical illness.

We can’t grant wishes like Bryce’s without your help. That’s why making a donation for kids who are still waiting for the transformative experience of a wish before tonight’s midnight deadline is so important: Will you rush a gift now to help us grant more wishes for waiting kids? Your support has the power to change and improve medical outcomes – both physical and emotional – for kids like Bryce who are facing critical illnesses.

Thank you for your support for children facing mental health challenges alongside their critical illnesses. Your generosity makes a world of a difference.
