How you help
Make-A-Wish volunteers consider their work impactful and meaningful. By helping us get closer to granting the wish of every eligible child, our volunteers are at the heart of every wish experience. Volunteers even have the freedom to choose when and how they would like to transform lives in their communities.
About us
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.
In 1980, a Phoenix community came together to grant the wish of Christopher Greicius, an energetic 7-year-old boy battling leukemia who wished to be a police officer.

(3/3) When Chairalis saw her new smile for the first time, her face lit up with joy. "Her wish has helped her a lot,” said dad Carlos. “She’s more secure and able to express herself. Her inner beauty shines through her new smile."😁 Read her full story at http://wish.org/chairalis-smile
