I see what wish kids face every day. I also see how wishes change their lives. Did you see the email we sent you earlier this week? At this moment, thousands of children like Gage are facing the pain, loneliness and fear of a critical illness. That’s why we set a goal to fund 100 wishes by the end of the year – but right now, we’re falling short. That’s why this news is so big: Today only, our partners at Titan Solar Power have upgraded their match offer. [Your donation today now goes FIVE TIMES as far toward granting wishes.]( Every day, I see what kids like Gage go through as they face critical illnesses. I see stories of the hospital stays, the long treatment journeys and the loss of childhood joys like playing outside and going to school. I also see how wishes can change everything – providing kids with hope, strength and the chance to simply be a kid in the moments when it matters most. That’s why you can make such an impact toward our goal to fund 100 wishes by the end of the year – and right now, every dollar you give can go 5X as far. [So please, will you make your tax-deductible gift today to have it MATCHED 5X, up to $250,000, for kids facing critical illnesses?]( [Match My Gift To Grant More Wishes]( Thank you so much, Adam Faircloth

Subject: The heartbreaking reality for kids like Gage … [Make-A-Wish]( [Match My Gift]( [Kids like Gage are waiting for hope. They're waiting for you. Make a MATCHED year-end gift today: Double My Donation For Wish Kids.]( This time of year should be filled with light and joy for children, but the heartbreaking reality is that this isn’t the case for thousands of kids who are facing critical illnesses – kids like 8-year-old Gage. Gage was born with a virus that created many health complications for him. When he was 2, he was diagnosed with a rare and severe nervous system disorder that causes seizures and affects nearly all areas of his life. The seizures have become part of everyday life for Gage and his family – something he has to deal with constantly. He’s not able to walk on his own or verbally communicate. Life with his condition is difficult and painful, but a wish gave Gage and his family the hope they desperately needed. [Match My Gift For Kids Like Gage]( We set an ambitious goal to fund 100 life-changing wishes for kids like Gage before the end of the year, and our generous partners at Titan Solar Power are MATCHING all donations, up to $250,000, to help us get there. [So please, will you make a tax-deductible gift today to have it DOUBLED toward providing the hope, joy and strength of a wish to more kids with critical illnesses?]( Donors like you made it possible for us to grant Gage’s wish to go adaptive skiing — an experience that felt out of reach before because of his mobility challenges. It helped restore hope for his family. Without you, none of that could have happened. [Match My Gift To Grant More Wishes.]( For every wish like Gage’s that we’re able to grant, there are two more kids waiting for their wishes to come true, too. As these kids endure long hospital stays, tough medical treatments and the depression of missing out on the chance to simply be a kid, we can’t bear for them to wait even one unnecessary day for the much-needed hope and joy of a wish – or for them to miss out on a wish altogether. That’s why your gift today, while every dollar is being DOUBLED, is so impactful. [Please, can we count on you to give now and have your donation go TWICE as far toward changing the lives of wish kids and their families when they need hope the most?]( [Donate $50 (Becomes $100)]( [Donate $100 (Becomes $200)]( [Donate $150 (Becomes $300)]( [Have Another Amount Matched]( Thank you, Make-A-Wish [Titan Solar Power and Make-A-Wish] P.S.
