“Children like Charlotte need a wish because it gives them hope … It made her forget about the bad times, living in the hospital, the needles, the pain, the tears – it gave her the hope that we couldn’t. To have this wish made her believe that there is good to be found in the world, too.”
– Estela, Charlotte’s mom
“This is a part of post-traumatic growth that Make-A-Wish has gifted our family, and regifted because we have the memories of this trip. We’re just incredibly grateful for that.”
– Aubrey, wish mom
“It provides us such reward and pride knowing we are making a difference in the lives of wish kids and their families who go through so much.”
– Ned A., Make-A-Wish donor
“A wish experience is something that I look forward to for my families and their kids. It allows me to do my job better every day. It gives me personal hope. It gives me an opportunity to give something to that family and their child that they may not otherwise ever have again.”
– Anup Patel, MD, Pediatric Neurologist, Nationwide Children’s Hospital

An easy way to double or even triple your impact to Make-A-Wish is to find out whether your employer will match your gift. If you work for a company that matches its employees’ gifts, please obtain a matching gift form from your human resources office and enclose it with your contribution. We’ll do the rest!
Giving through your donor-advised fund is an easy way to grant the wish of a child with a critical illness.
If you’re 70½ years old or older, you can donate to Make-A-Wish directly from a taxable IRA instead of taking their required minimum distributions reducing your taxable income and transforming a child’s life.
