Make a Wish

Make a Wish Foundation

          Make a Wish is an organization that helps children with medical conditions. Established in 1980, Make a Wish has given hope to thousands of children. With a child patient living in the United States, they ensure to grant them one wish of their choice to help bring them joy. They also have hosted fundraising from the aid of volunteers.

          Make a Wish was founded to dedicate it to a boy named Chris Greicius, who was living with deadly leukemia. Chris yearned to become a police officer, and the founders were touched by his dream. Make a Wish is worldwide today, and has included more than 250,000 children. This organization has truly made children happy, as their website states, “We grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience of hope, strength, and joy.”

          Make a Wish has helped thousands of children, but not all. You can volunteer to help grant a wish or host special events. If you don’t want to volunteer, you can donate money, or “treasures”, like computer equipment, hot tubs, or spas. You can also donate flier miles. More than 2.5 billion miles, or 50,000 round-trip tickets are needed to grant wishes. Check out their website!  http://www.wish.org/
