Imagine a child facing a life-threatening medical condition, their world shrinking under the weight of fear and uncertainty. With your support, we transform that despair into hope—granting over 8,000 wishes annually across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Guam. Every donation fuels life-changing moments that empower children to rediscover joy, strength, and dignity amid their toughest battles, creating a breakthrough in their fight for health and happiness. Your contribution is a lifeline that turns dreams into reality, helping children reclaim their childhood and build resilience for the future they deserve.

At the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, we partner with over 25,000 volunteers and rely on generous donors to turn hope into action. Since 1980, we have made more than 226,000 wishes come true—each one a testament to the power of compassion and community. Our programs serve children with critical illnesses, providing personalized experiences that ignite positivity, foster emotional healing, and inspire a brighter outlook. Every gift helps us reach more children, creating moments of joy that ripple through families and communities, strengthening society’s fabric through the universal language of hope.

We envision a world where every child facing a life-threatening condition can experience the transformative power of a wish. Your support today accelerates this vision, enabling us to grant wishes faster and reach children in underserved areas. By donating, you join a movement that not only changes individual lives but also elevates societal well-being by promoting good health and well-being, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Together, we can break down barriers to hope, ensuring no child faces their illness alone—because every wish fulfilled is a step toward a future filled with hope, strength, and joy.
