Give a Child a World of Hope With a Life-Changing Wish Trip
Maksim’s wish to go to Hawaii was an unforgettable week for him and his family. There were no schedules to follow – just time together in a beautiful setting. They relaxed on the beach, searched for shark teeth along the shore and even went on a shark boat so Maksim could catch a view of real sharks. His parents said his wish was a glimpse of something that was pure joy for Maksim. It was exactly what they needed too: time to focus on each other.
“Maksim’s wish was a chance to pause life’s responsibilities and focus on fun and family,” Maksim’s parents said. “Being granted time away like this brought tears to our eyes.”
Travel wishes like Maksim’s need you. With 75 percent of wishes requiring air travel, Make-A-Wish needs more than 2.8 billion airline miles and points to cover every travel wish each year. Right now, we’re only able to grant wishes for one out of every two eligible children with critical illnesses – and that’s where you can help.
Give a child with a critical illness a world of hope by helping a wish take flight. Donate your airline miles and points today.

Loyalty Programs
Currently, Make-A-Wish does not participate directly in any hotel loyalty point donation programs. However, chapters are able to use transferable vouchers on a case-by-case basis. To find out more about voucher donations, contact your local chapter.
Tax Deductibility
The IRS recognizes award points as a gift or an award from the corporation to the individual. Therefore, points donated to charity are not considered tax deductible.
