At just 7 years old, AnnaLeigh lost her hair to the chemotherapy she needed to treat her blood disorder. This loss challenged her sense of identity, took away her confidence and made an already painful medical journey all the more devastating. 

But then, her wish to be a storybook princess with long, cascading hair brought back her confidence and gave her the strength to keep fighting.

Thanks to generous people like you, wishes are granted free of charge to families — so wish kids and families can focus on what really matters.

Will you help us fund another storybook wish in honor of Child Health Day? Your gift will help us get one step closer to reaching our $10,000 goal!

AnnaLeigh’s community rallied around her to make her wish happen, thanks to WishMakers like you. AnnaLeigh got long, red hair extensions, the perfect princess gown and a chef-prepared fancy lunch inside an iconic bell tower, where her royal wish came true! 

The crowd gathered and cheered “AnnaLeigh, AnnaLeigh let down your hair!” 

And as AnnaLeigh let her hair down from the bell tower, she beamed with the joy of her wish come true. Because on her wish day, AnnaLeigh was a princess. 

There are so many kids like AnnaLeigh who are still waiting for the restorative power of a wish. In fact, every day more than 40 children are added to the wish waiting list. Will you help? 

Help make another fairytale wish come true with a gift on Child Health Day – your gift today will help us reach our $10,000 fundraising goal so we can serve even more waiting wish kids.

Wishfully,

Mission Team @ Make-A-Wish^®
