Make-A-Wish® Northeastern & Central California and Northern Nevada is one of 59 chapters nationwide and covers 45 countries granting wishes to children with critical illnesses. Since the chapter began in 1983, more than 9,000 life-changing wishes have been granted impacting the wish children, their families and their communities.

This year, we’ve all had a glimpse of what it feels like to wait for hope. We’ve had so many dreams deferred due to circumstances beyond our control. We’re still waiting to feel hopeful again. So are children with critical illnesses. You can help give them a piece of their childhood back, just as you would for a child you love.

The moment the wish journey begins, there is something for the child to look forward to and everything begins to change. The hope of a wish is more than a temporary escape. It is a wellspring of strength to keep fighting for better days.

In these times, hope is essential for children with critical illnesses, and you can unlock its life-changing power today. Helping more kids find hope is something we all have the power to do.

Don’t wait for hope. Create it. Help make wishes come true.
