The month is ending, and so is our 2X matching gift opportunity! So please, make a gift now while it can still go TWICE as far for kids like Lupita.

Although Lupita is nonverbal, her spirit shines brightly. “Lupita is a very loving and happy girl,” said Yolanda, Lupita’s mom. “She loves music and dancing, and you never see Lupita down.”

But in 2019, Lupita became lethargic, had trouble getting up in the mornings, and began falling asleep in class. Her parents took her to the doctor and were shocked to learn she had leukemia. Lupita underwent two and a half years of treatment in isolation, missing out on her own fifteenth birthday celebration.

This was especially difficult because the quinceañera is a big part of her family’s culture. When Yolanda found out Lupita qualified to receive a wish, she knew what would light up her daughter with joy — the big quinceañera she missed out on the year before.

Make-A-Wish^® worked closely with the family to ensure the perfect celebration for Lupita. The décor was all pink, gold, and glittery, and the food was her favorite things — pizza, tacos, and chocolate cake!

And every wish kid deserves to feel this special. Will you help make it happen with a gift that has DOUBLE the impact?

Lupita had the time of her life at her quinceañera, dancing the night away with her family and friends. “It was unforgettable,” Yolanda said. “My favorite memory was seeing Lupita enter the room … She was so excited.”

“We go through so much with Lupita’s illness,” Yolanda said. “So for a party like this, Lupita’s dream to come true, is truly wonderful.”

You can help another wish kid’s dream come true. Give now, DOUBLE your impact, and give more wish kids something to celebrate!

Wishfully,

Make-A-Wish
