Dear friends, family and community members,
My name is John. I’m an 11-year-old from Mount Angel and I am a 2024 Make-A-Wish Oregon Wish Ambassador!
As a Wish Ambassador, it is my job to spread the life-changing hope, strength, and joy that a wish provides to other local kids and families. I know what it’s like to face the unimaginable as I battle with chronic kidney disease. I want to help spread the joy of wishes to other kids who are battling chronic illnesses, too.
My wish left me amazed. I wished to spend my 10th birthday visiting Star Wars Land at the Walt Disney World® Resort. We stayed at an incredible resort called Give Kids the World Village®. I ate ice cream every day and loved putting up my very own star at the castle there. I know it will be there for years to come.
Wishes are important because they remind us that we are special. Even though bad things have happened to us, good things can happen too.
Today, I’m asking you to take just a moment to support me in donating so we can share renewed strength with future wish kids. Kids like me, who are battling a critical illness like cancer or heart disease and deserve to dream big and feel the hope a wish can bring.
Let’s show other kids in our community what can happen when a group of caring people rally around them to make dreams come true. Donate to my page in support of local, life-changing wishes, like mine.
Sincerely,
Wish Ambassador John
