I was delighted to join the Make-A-Wish^® board of directors last year, and I’m just as excited to share some good news with you now:

The Board of Directors has increased our matching gift for World Wish Month^™. Your gift now is matched 4X instead of 2X, to reach even more children who need the strength a wish can bring.

That means 4X the wishes that help kids on a medical journey to keep fighting and even overcome their critical illnesses.

Will you help reach our $300,000 goal for World Wish Month — and grant 4X the wishes for waiting kids?

Jahyda is a 7-year-old who’s fighting a blood disorder. She likes going on walks with her dad, video games, drawing, and playing on the monkey bars at the playground.

But it’s difficult to fully enjoy childhood when a kid must spend so much time at the hospital, facing blood draws and painful treatments that leave them exhausted and scared.

That’s why a wish matters so much, whatever that wish may be. For Jahyda, her wish was to meet and swim with mermaids. So we made it happen.

Your support meant Jahyda and her family enjoyed nearly a week at the Laylow Waikiki Hotel in Hawai’i. And of course, Jahyda met and swam with mermaids. She even got to become one herself — realizing that transformations are possible.

Wishes come in all shapes and sizes. But one thing is true for them all – they each help restore much-needed joy and hope to a wish kid and their family.

We are all on this journey of hope together. So I hope you take advantage of this special opportunity to help even more wish kids now, when the board of directors will match your gift 4X.

Wishfully,
