For 5-year-old Dayonie, fighting cancer means that playing in his backyard isn't as easy as it is for most kids.

He’s an energetic, fearless child with a playful spirit. But Dayonie’s cancer requires complex medical attention, and he doesn't always have the energy or the resources to enjoy the summer fun like his friends from school. 

So when Dayonie found out that his wish for a backyard playhouse would come true thanks to supporters like you, he was over the moon. His wish has given him the chance to enjoy the outdoors this summer – along with the joy and confidence he needs to enjoy every summer to come.

For every wish like Dayonie’s that we grant, another two kids are waiting for their own life-changing wish. That’s why our generous partners at Jumpzylla are MATCHING all donations, up to $175,000 to help us grant more wishes during our busiest wish granting season, and we’re counting on 1,322 supporters like you to make their first gift while it will be DOUBLED.

So please, will you be one of the 1,322 supporters we need to make a gift now and have it go TWICE as far for wish kids?

Children like Dayonie miss out on so much as they grow up with critical illnesses, especially during the sunny summer months. But a wish can be life-changing – giving them a crucial piece of their childhood back and the resilience to keep persevering. That’s why medical providers agree that a wish is a necessary part of a child’s medical journey.

But it’s only possible for us to grant these wishes with the generosity of caring supporters like you. So please, will you donate now to have your gift DOUBLED for children in need of a wish? Countless wish kids like Dayonie are depending on you.

Thanks for coming through for Dayonie and so many wish kids like him.
