There’s a 3X MATCH opportunity for just 24 hours! Right now, your gift can go 3X as far to help grant wishes for children fighting critical illnesses. So your donation will have an even bigger impact on wish kids like James.

James brought his pirate hat everywhere — even school. When he was 6 years old, James’ mom, Nancy, noticed that James put his face close to the paper when trying to read or write. His parents took him to an ophthalmologist. James’ MRI revealed a brain tumor blocking his optic pathway.

For five months, James received weekly chemotherapy treatments. Each treatment led to severe side effects and sometimes an emergency room visit, but his trusty pirate hat was always with him. Even while he was recovering from biopsy surgery.

When James found out he would receive a wish, he knew exactly what he wanted. James wished to be a pirate — the real thing! For months before the trip, James’ excitement grew. The anticipation leading up to his wish helped James and his family get through some of their most difficult times in the hospital.

James and his whole family enjoyed a much-needed break from challenging times. “Seeing him feel special in a way that isn’t about his illness was so wonderful. It warms our hearts, and we are so grateful,” said James’ mom, Nancy.

But today, 40 more children will be added to the Make-A-Wish^® waiting list. Will you help their wishes come true? Please make a gift that can be MATCHED 3X to help grant more summer wishes in waiting.

Wishfully,

Make-A-Wish
