4,500 wishes waiting: Your support is crucial

Help give the gift of brighter days to 4,500 wish kids. [Make-A-Wish]( [Give Now]( [Wil you help more wishes like Josie's come true? Make a Gift Now.]( In just a moment, we’ll ask you to read about a brave wish kid named Josie, whose wish brought a whole community together. But before we do, we have to ask you urgently: At least 4,500 kids are waiting on wishes this summer, with 40 more being added to the list of waiting wishes each day. We’ve set a goal to raise $45,000 to bring their wishes to life – but we’re on track to fall short. That's why we're reaching out for your help to meet our $45,000 Summer of Wishes goal. [Make a gift now to help us grant wishes for kids facing long hospital stays and painful treatments. Help us bring them joy when they need it most.]( [Make a Life-Changing Summer Gift]( Meeting other kids was a challenge for Josie. She’s facing congenital heart disease and has spent time in and out of the hospital. Josie wished to build a “nature playground” for her town to help her connect with new friends. Thanks to Make-A-Wish®, Josie was involved every step of the way as the park was developed, from the designs to the installation to the reveal day. [Make a Gift for Kids like Josie.]( Josie’s park design even included a “Buddy Bench” with an invitation to anyone who wants to be Josie’s friend: “The only way to have a friend is to be one.” Josie used her wish to make an impact on other children in her community. Wishes like these change not just one life, but many – and we can’t grant them without your support. However, 4,500 kids like Josie are waiting for their summer wishes to come true, and we want to make sure we can reach every one of them. That's why this $45,000 Summer of Wishes goal is so important.
