Mission

Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

Make-A-Wish is the world’s leading children’s wish-granting organization, operating in every community in the U.S. and in nearly 50 countries worldwide. Together with generous supporters, donors, staff and volunteers, we deliver hope and joy to children and their families when they need it most.

When you support Make-A-Wish, you have the unique ability to transform a child and family’s life during some of their most difficult trials. A wish is not a fleeting gift – it is a pivotal experience during a wish kid’s treatment and recovery. It’s a carefully planned journey, designed to complement a child’s medical treatment and increase their compliance with care. Wishes have proven physical and emotional benefits that can give children with critical illnesses a higher chance of surviving and thriving.

In the fight against a critical illness, children need you to help make their life-changing wish come true.
