For kids like Penny, who was diagnosed with cancer at just 13 months old, a wish experience can help carry them through their treatments – giving them the hope and strength they need in their toughest moments.

That’s why we cannot let this opportunity go to waste: This is your last chance to help us reach our $50,000 goal to UNLOCK A MATCH, which will help us maximize our impact for waiting wish kids during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month – but we’re still coming up very short.

Because closing this gap is so important for granting more wishes, we’re following up with everyone who hasn’t had a chance to help us activate this match yet. According to your supporter record, that includes you:

Donated To Unlock the Match? NOT YET

Please, before midnight, will you make a gift to help us unlock an impactful match that will DOUBLE the value of donations for kids like 5-year-old Penny who are fighting cancer and other critical illnesses?

During her time at the hospital for cancer treatments, Penny wanted to play with her doctors’ stethoscopes, help with doing lab draws and emulate her caretakers. Living out her medical journey through play helped her be less afraid, and that bravery was crucial as she experienced some setbacks, like losing her vision and some of her hearing.

So when she found out that she’d get to make a wish, she wished for a doctor-themed playhouse. Now, it’s a lighthearted, peaceful space that has given her a renewed sense of strength.

There are thousands of other kids like Penny who are waiting for their own life-changing wish, and your gift today will help unlock the chance to have donations go TWICE as far toward making those wishes come true. But with time running out to reach the $50,000 threshold, we need your donation right away.

So please, can kids like Penny who are still in need of a wish count on your gift today? Your generosity will help activate a special Childhood Cancer Awareness Month match so we can reach even more kids with the impact of a wish.

Thank you,
