This season is a time of joy and giving – and there’s still a gift of joy left for you to give! Your year-end gift now can unwrap the power of a wish for even more kids fighting critical illnesses thanks to a 2X MATCH from a group of generous donors.

Through the end of the year, all donations to Make-A-Wish^® will be DOUBLED. We are looking for 200 donors to help give wish kids the power of hope and a better chance of surviving and thriving. Help grant 2X the life-changing wishes with your tax-deductible, year-end gift now!

Something incredible happens when you unwrap the power of a wish: kids fighting critical illnesses find the strength to fight back! Addie was diagnosed with a life-threatening heart condition at just one-year-old. The news marked the beginning of a relentless medical journey through a maze of diagnoses, including congenital heart disease.

Despite all the tubes, treatments and hospital stays, Addie has always had a sense of adventure that brightened up even her darkest days. Fascinated by the great outdoors, Addie’s ultimate wish was to embark on a great adventure.
 
When Addie’s wish was granted, her family set off on an adventure that was more than just a trip; it was a chance to rewrite their story. Once-clinical surroundings were replaced by the natural beauty of Alaska, where fishing lines danced along glass waters and the serenity of nature provided a healing backdrop. Instead of beeping heart monitors, Addie heard the crackling of campfires and the laughter of family. 

These moments of joy and togetherness nourished Addie’s spirit and her family’s bond. 

Best of all, every dollar you give now will go TWICE as far to grant even more of these very special wishes. So I hope you will donate today, while it can be matched.

The impact of Addie’s wish extended far beyond the adventure itself. Wishes like hers give families the chance to reconnect and strengthen their relationships, building new memories that stand apart from the struggles of critical illness. For Addie’s family, this experience was a source of pure joy, connection and hope.
 
Will you double your impact for wish kids like Addie today?
 
Thank you,
