I know first hand how impactful a granted wish is to a wish kid. My sister Allie was granted a wish trip to Alaska in August of 2022. It was an amazing week where our family was not focused on her cancer and we made life time memories.
When a wish is granted, a child replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy and anxiety with hope. The majority of wish kids go on to beat their critical illnesses, and research shows that a wish can help children build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight – giving them a better chance of surviving and thriving.
Every day, 70+ children are diagnosed with a critical illness and count on donors like us to help make their wish come true.
