Josie, 8, was born with a congenital heart condition. She spent summer after summer sitting out of outdoor activities, confined to a hospital bed. That’s when Make-A-Wish^® and people like you stepped in.

Summer is when wish kids like Josie need supporters like you the most. It’s our busiest wish-granting season of the year.

But right now, we’re still $11,557 away from our $14,000 Week of Wishes goal. That means fewer wishes granted at a time when kids fighting critical illnesses are stuck indoors, in hospital rooms and in waiting — waiting for the wish that could help change everything.

Last summer, Josie celebrated her birthday learning to surf in Hawaii. Her mom called her wish “a balm” to their whole family’s medical trauma.

But in the next 20 minutes, another child will be diagnosed with a critical illness that makes them eligible for a wish. And to grant every wish for every eligible child, we need your help.

Your gift today can help bring life-changing joy to a child who truly needs it. Every dollar goes straight to work making wishes come true for kids fighting critical illnesses — giving kids like Josie the strength to keep fighting.

Let's make this Week of Wishes successful! Give now and help make more wishes come true.

Wishfully,

Make-A-Wish
