You might remember wish kid Gage – he was born a fighter, and he still inspires us every day. I hope he inspires you, too. I wanted to remind you that our Giving Tuesday MATCH has been extended through midnight tonight – that means your gift can STILL go 7X as far.

If Gage’s story has touched your heart, please make a donation today to help grant more of these life-changing wishes.

Wishfully,

Subject: 7X EXTENDED: still time to help kids like Gage!

Gage was born fighting a virus that left him with many health complications. By the age of 2, Gage was diagnosed with a rare, severe nervous system disorder that causes seizures. Wish kids like Gage need the strength and joy of a wish this holiday season – will you help grant a wish with a gift that goes 7X as far?

Gage is not able to walk on his own or verbally communicate. Despite these differences, Gage has grown to love an adrenaline rush. So it wasn’t a surprise when he wished to have an adaptive ski experience with his family!

Make-A-Wish^® put out the call to grant Gage’s wish. And people like you answered! Due to Local response, our 7X Giving Tuesday match has been extended to MIDNIGHT.

Gage’s first day on the Colorado slopes, the bright sun made the snow glisten – and that was only the beginning of a wonderful wish week with his family.

“Gage’s smile and his laugh were generous and frequent,” said his mom, Hannah. “To see him take part in something that must feel so liberating, so freeing for him … thank you can never be enough.”

Now we’re asking for your help because for every wish granted, 2 more kids are still waiting! Wish experiences are more than just nice to have – a wish can transform a child’s medical journey, giving them newfound strength and resilience.

For a few hours more, you have 7X the power to make that happen. Will you give now and help bring 7X more kids the holiday joy and hope that come from a wish granted?

Thank you!
