When you help grant a wish, you can — and do — make a difference. Science proves it! Research shows that a wish can give a child like Antonia, who was fighting lymphoma, the strength and resilience they need to keep fighting. You can read her story below.

Today, we’ve set a goal of 50 donations by midnight.

Your contribution can go 5X as far right now to help grant more wishes − plus you’ll help unlock a special additional Giving Tuesday match!

Please give today and know your gift really makes a difference for kids like Antonia.

Sincerely,

Make-A-Wish^®

Antonia couldn’t wait to go skiing with her family. But as they were making final plans, they got devastating news: Antonia, at 10 years old, was diagnosed with lymphoma.  Instead of the slopes, multiple rounds of chemotherapy followed, bringing hair loss, physical pain and isolation.

But Antonia held onto her wish to go on a ski trip — as soon as she was able. Thanks to people like you, Make-A-Wish^® could grant Antonia’s wish. 

Thanks to a group of generous supporters, you can now help grant even more children their wishes with a 5X Matching Gift. Give today and your gift is multiplied by 5!

When Antonia learned her wish would be granted, hope replaced the sadness that had enveloped her household. The sparkle returned to Antonia’s eyes. And by the time her family strapped on their skis, illness was the last thing on their minds.

But for every wish granted, two more kids are still waiting. With your help, our vision is to grant the wish of every child fighting a critical illness, every year. A wish experience can be a turning point in a child’s medical journey, giving them the strength they need to fight and even overcome their critical illness.

Will you consider joining us with a donation to help make 5X more wishes come true?

Your gift today means more than ever, thanks to a special group of donors, your donation can be matched 5X, and you can help us reach our goal: 50 donations by midnight tonight. Best of all, the wishes you help grant can contribute to improved health outcomes for children fighting critical illnesses.

This Giving Tuesday, the hope and joy of a wish is the most valuable gift you can give — it means you’ll give children like Antonia a better chance to be kids again. 

However, Giving Tuesday is almost here and too many kids are still waiting for their wishes this holiday season, so we’re reaching out to compassionate people like you.

Please make your first gift now – with 1 gift today, you can help unwrap the life-changing power of a wish for 5X more kids.

I hope you will help us reach our goal and grant 5X more wishes to all the kids who are waiting. People like you make all we do possible.

Gratefully,
