At Make-A-Wish^®, our vision is to grant the wish of every eligible child, every year. And generous people like you help to make that possible. As you’ll read below, our sponsors have given us the chance to multiply all gifts – including your gift – by 10. I hope we hear from you before midnight, when this Giving Tuesday 10X match ends. Thank you in advance!

Gratefully,

Subject: 🚆 ALL ABOARD: 10X Giving Tuesday MATCH!
To: [email protected]

On this special day, you can help grant 10X the wishes for waiting kids. Donate now and your Giving Tuesday gift is matched 10 times to help more kids like Hazael!

Hazael was born with a rare syndrome that caused fluid buildup in his lungs and a heart murmur. In search of answers, Hazael’s family was hit with difficult news: He needed a heart transplant to survive. Through it all, playing with toy trains brought Hazael the most joy, and Yosilda, his mom, often made it a point for them to take the train to his medical appointments in order to find light during a dark time. 

At age 9, Hazael underwent a successful heart transplant. As he recovered, he learned his wish to go on a train trip would be granted! From that moment, Hazael regained his energy and felt more and more motivated to persevere through his recovery – fully focused on getting healthy enough to travel on a train, far and fast!

Your gift goes 10X as far to bring joy and strength to a waiting wish kid.

This time of year, a holiday wish is the most precious gift you can give – because it means you’ll give children like Hazael a boost that can lead to improved health outcomes. Your 10X match will help make an even greater difference in the lives of more children fighting critical illnesses.

When his wish came true, Hazael embarked on a grand train trip from New York to Chicago, as the rhythm of the tracks beneath him echoed a newfound strength in his heart and hope for brighter days ahead.

Please make your first gift now while it can multiply 10X to help even more children who are still waiting for their wish.

Gratefully,
