The holidays look different for our wish kids and families

Many of the kids we serve are still facing uncertainty this holiday season... but you change everything by inviting hope and joy back into their lives. [Make-A-Wish]( ISSUE NO. 30 DECEMBER 12, 2022 [Wishfully Yours: What's Happening Now at Make-A-Wish]( From the desk of [Frances Hall]( The holidays are usually a time of joy and togetherness. But this time of year, our wish kids and families are always on my mind. Many of the kids we serve are still facing uncertainty this holiday – families continue to be separated as their child undergoes treatment. The warmth, comfort and joy that so many of us feel this season will be lost for a child who is isolated and vulnerable. [But you change everything by inviting hope and joy back into their lives with a wish.]( If a child’s mental or emotional well-being is suffering, we do everything we can to protect their joy of childhood – and their hope for brighter days ahead. And I know that you’re right there beside us. A wish shows kids with critical illnesses that with hope, they can find the motivation to persevere … and with joy, they can reclaim their childhood. [Every wish we grant starts with you.]( More than ever, the hope and joy of a wish is the most valuable gift you can give this holiday season. Thank you for everything you do for these kids. Wishfully Yours, Frances [Today, 40 kids will be added to the list of waiting wishes. You can give them hope.]( [These kids need the hope and strength of a wish – especially now – and you have the power to make their wishes come true this holiday season.]( [Donate Now]( [So long, 2022!
