Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.


About

Wishes are more than just a nice thing. And they are far more than gifts, or singular events in time. Wishes impact everyone involved—wish kids, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical professionals and communities. For wish kids, just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments. Parents might finally feel like they can be optimistic. And still others might realize all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or philanthropy. A wish experience can be a game-changer for a child with a critical illness. This one belief guides us in everything we do at Make-A-Wish. It inspires us to grant life-changing wishes for children going through so much. It compels us to be creative in exceeding the expectations of every wish kid. It drives us to make our donated resources go as far as possible. Most of all, it's the founding principle of our vision to grant the wish of every eligible child.

How Pick.Click.Give. makes a difference

Wishes have proven physical and emotional benefits that can give children with critical illnesses a higher chance of survival. When a wish is granted, a child replaces:
• Fear with Confidence
• Sadness with Joy
• Anxiety with Hope

A wish has the power to give children renewed strength and energy, bring families closer together, and unite entire communities. In short, a wish can truly change the odds for a child facing a critical illness. It allows kids to see beyond their limitations, helps families ease their fears, and gives communities the gift of shared joy. Most importantly, a wish can improve a child’s quality of life, and has positive impact on them mentally, emotionally, and physically. That’s the impact of Pick.Click.Give, by giving you are making a meaningful difference for wish children and their families at the time they need it most.
