7/24 deadline: Make summer wishes come true

4,500 kids like Jaime are waiting on the power of a wish. [Make-A-Wish]( [Give Now]( [Help us reach our Summer of Wishes goal and make more kids' biggest wishes come true this summer. Give Now.]( Your support is integral to making summer wishes come true for wish kids like 9-year-old Jaime: Jaime's fascination with animals began at a young age. He wasn't just a casual admirer; he was a true animal lover. His days were filled with exploring the world of creatures big and small, from lions to tortoises. But life took an unexpected turn for Jaime when he was diagnosed with cancer in kindergarten. Suddenly, his days were no longer filled with outdoor fun and adventure. They were replaced instead with difficult treatments, long hospital stays, daily medication, and darkness and uncertainty for both Jaime and his family. Wishes can be life-changing for wish kids like Jaime, bringing them strength and hope to create a turning point in their critical illnesses. But more than 4,500 wish kids are currently waiting for their wishes to be granted this summer – and YOU have the power to make their wishes come true. Our $45,000 Summer of Wishes fundraising deadline is just around the corner, and we need people like you to make sure we hit this crucial goal as 40 more kids are added to the list of waiting wishes each day. Only YOU can create brighter days for these kids. [Make a life-changing gift now to help grant wishes for so many kids fighting critical illnesses. A wish can change everything for these kids, and every dollar you give makes all the difference.]( [Give Now To Grant Waiting Wishes]( When Make-A-Wish® came into Jaime’s life, he knew he wanted to connect with the animals he loved most at the zoo. He was looking forward to his wish so much that it motivated him to keep working on his physical therapy, building stamina to see all his favorite animals. When his big day finally came, the zoo staff gave him a private tour, allowing him to get up close and personal with the animals, even feeding the tortoises. This unforgettable day brought a newfound confidence. His mom says he now approaches strangers with ease, confidently answering questions about his wish. But 4,500 more kids just like Jaime are waiting on the joy of a wish this summer – and your support for our $45,000 Summer of Wishes goal is urgently needed if we are to give more children fighting critical illnesses improved chances of reaching a medical turning point.
