Summer is a time of family trips and vacations, from exploring new cities to relaxing on the beach and everything in between. 

But for families with a child facing a critical illness, travel is often not an option – whether that’s because a child’s complicated medical needs make traveling risky or because the cost of their medical accommodations is simply too high. 

That’s where Make-A-Wish^® comes in. If a child’s heartfelt wish involves travel, we make the necessary arrangements to ensure their dream trip is accessible and comes at no cost to wish families.

And it’s the generosity of supporters like you who make these wishes possible. That’s why we want to share Emily’s story with you today, so you can see firsthand how your donations create worry-free, unforgettable wish trips for wish kids and their families.

“We haven't done anything as a family since she was born. We are a family based in traditions and so many of those have been paused due to needing to keep Emily safe. Her sisters know this and understand, but also wish Emily could experience all of the things that they love to do as a family.”

– Emily’s mom, Heather

Thank you for helping us make heartfelt wishes come true for wish kids.
