What if you could make a child's life-changing wish come true?

We believe a single wish transforms lives. 

"Sometimes it is overwhelming when I think that our magical experience was due to the kindness of strangers. Our son Luke, although only three years-old, is a fighter. I know now he fights harder knowing that people out there are caring for his well-being. Thank you for giving. You give of yourself and it touches others." ~ Wish mom
