Wish kid Braedyn and her family will spend the coming holiday at home. But sadly, too many wish kids and families in communities like yours will find themselves separated by critical illness or eating dinner in a cold hospital room. A note from you would really mean a lot – do you have a minute to sign our e-Card?

Many wish kids experience feelings of loneliness and isolation during treatment, and the holiday season may be the most difficult of all. Hearing from you can change that loneliness into optimism and give them the strength to keep fighting.  

Will you take a moment to show them they’re not alone by sending a message of hope to children and their families?

They’ll be so grateful to hear from you. Thank you in advance!

Wishfully,

Adam Faircloth

Leukemia once cast a long shadow over 8-year-old Braedyn’s life, filling her days with painful treatments and hospital visits. But on her wish day, everything changed. Braedyn glided gracefully across the ice-skating rink, leaving behind the pain and uncertainty – if only for a day, she thought.

That day was more than a moment. It was a spark of hope that carried her forward. Now, Braedyn is cancer-free, skating up a storm and spending Thanksgiving at home with family. Sadly, too many wish kids will spend this holiday in hospital rooms enduring tests and treatments. YOU can give them hope. Send a message that reminds them they’re not alone. Your words can lift their spirits and help bring strength when it's needed most.

This season is about gratitude and giving back. Together, we can make sure every wish kid feels the warmth of a caring community even during the toughest times. Can we count on you to write a message of hope for a wish kid today so we can deliver it before Thanksgiving?

Wishfully,
