CLIENT

A wish begins with hope.

And hope begins with you.

Make-A-Wish

Since its founding in 1980, Make-A-Wish® has granted more than 360,000 wishes in the U.S. and its territories. A wish provides much-needed relief from the trauma caused by a critical illness, through a rejuvenating experience that can give a child a better chance of surviving and thriving. Research shows that children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. A wish replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy, and anxiety with hope.
