During this gift giving season, give the most precious holiday gift of all: a wish come true! Every 20 minutes, another child receives a critical illness diagnosis – about 73 kids each day. Keep that in mind this Black Friday, because there is no greater gift you can give than a wish for a child like Rivkah.

Rivkah was diagnosed with leukemia at just 2 years old. Between harsh treatments, she escaped into snowy films, imagining a world beyond hospital walls. Rivkah had never seen snow, so she spent whole afternoons wondering what it would feel and look like.

When Rivkah learned she would receive a wish, she didn’t hesitate … she wished to see snow. And see it she did – her family threw snowballs, made a snowman and tubed down the side of a mountain on her wish trip! Will you donate now and help give more kids the joy, strength and resilience that only a wish come true can bring?

Today, Rivkah is healthy and has been in remission for two years. “Her treatment took a lot out of her,” said Rivkah’s dad, Kyle. “It’s good to see her where she is now, after she was so ill for so long.” A wish was a key part of her recovery journey.

So please, this Black Friday, give a gift that changes a child’s life. Donate now to help grant 4X the waiting wishes for kids fighting critical illnesses. Thank you!

Wishfully,
