Hunter’s Wish Helps Him Build Confidence and Strength

Hunter's wish to learn how to surf helped him not only escape his daily routine of treatments, but also empowered him to gain the skills he wanted so that he could surf alongside his siblings at home. His wish was also an opportunity for this Florida boy to experience the West Coast and fly in a plane - something he loved! Hunter's wish helped him feel more joyful, confident and hopeful for the future.

How you can help Every child deserves a childhood full of joyful experiences. And a child’s joy is a light of hope for all of us–especially during the holiday season. Right now, a child is battling the pain, fear and trauma caused by a critical illness. Facing scary surgeries that can’t wait until after the new year. Isolating treatments that make family gatherings and celebrations impossible. “Wishful Giving” is your unique and powerful opportunity to ensure these children don’t wait even one unnecessary dayfor the life-changing hope and joy that only a wish can bring – at a time when they truly need it most. When you grant a wish for the holidays, you are giving a child with a critical illness a gift like no other. You create a turning point in their medical journey, and the joy of childhood they’ve lost is suddenly within reach. This boost in their emotional well-being is the most precious gift, because it can lead to improved health outcomes. More than 4,000 children will be diagnosed with a devastating critical illness this holiday season, joining the many more children who are already waiting for their wishes to come true. Now, more than ever, the hope and joy of a wish is the most valuable gift you can give–because it means you’ve given these children a better chance of surviving and thriving.
