14,600 kids

Year-End Match Announcement: Your gift goes TWICE as far for wish kids today [Make-A-Wish]( [Match My Gift]( [MATCH ANNOUNCEMENT. Your tax-deductible gift goes TWICE as far toward granting waiting wishes like TJ's. Match My Gift.]( When the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, about 14,600 kids with critical illnesses will have been added to the list of waiting wishes over the course of 2023. Kids like TJ, who was diagnosed with cancer when he was 6 years old. TJ had to spend time away from his mom and sister while he received treatment, including radiation in a different state. It's been a really scary time for TJ, but granting his wish could bring some hope back into his life. Each and every one of their wishes takes tons of resources, and we simply couldn’t grant them without your generous support. That’s what makes this time of year so important to our mission – because what we raise before 2023 comes to a close will determine how many of those waiting wishes we’ll be able to grant in the year ahead. In this last week of the year, we’ve set a goal to fund 100 wishes waiting to be granted in 2024. [We only have five short days to reach this goal, and right now, your impact will be doubled for wish kids.]( [Match My Gift]( After eight years of working here at Make-A-Wish®, if there’s one thing I can tell you, it’s this: These wish experiences change everything for wish kids. I’ve seen it time and again. In fact, even medical providers agree that they’re a necessary part of a child’s treatment journey – creating better health outcomes and a better chance at surviving and thriving. But right now, the reality is that too many kids are still waiting for the life-changing impact of a wish – kids like TJ. As he's endured long stays in the hospital and separation from his family for cancer treatment, TJ would watch videos about outer space to take his mind off of what he was going through. Now, he wishes to go to outer space – but we need your help to make that wish come true. [My wish is waiting. Please donate now.]( When you make a tax-deductible year-end donation today, it will be generously MATCHED by Titan Solar Power, up to $250,000, to make sure kids like TJ don’t have to wait for the hope of a wish.
