Summer should be a time of joy for children, but wish kids often miss out due to their illness, creating a dark chapter during a time that should be filled with sunshine and memories. 

A wish can change everything for these children - giving them the strength and hope they need to persevere in their fight against critical illness.

The summertime is Make-A-Wish Connecticut's busiest wish-granting season, but it can also be a time when we receive the least amount of financial support. With over 300 kids waiting for their wishes to be granted, we need your help.

Wish kids are anxiously waiting for their summer wishes to come true – and from June through August, you have the power to create the hope and joy they urgently need in their fight. Invite your friends, family and followers to donate or attend community events, and make a huge splash in the lives of children with critical illnesses, their families, and everyone involved in granting their wish. Wishes can change everything – even you.

Help make wishes come true by attending a community event this summer!
