Wishful Thinking Newsletter

2025 Spring Newsletter

Every wish begins with a spark—an idea, a dream, a moment of hope. And when a wish comes true, that spark ignites something even greater: joy, strength, and the power to keep fighting.

At Make-A-Wish Hawaii, we’ve seen this magic time and again, most recently in Titus, who wished to meet a capybara. His excitement, curiosity, and pure happiness remind us why we do what we do—because a wish is so much more than a day or a trip. It’s an experience that transforms lives and gives children hope.

In this issue of Wishful Thinking, you’ll also read about:

  • Paige’s wish to go to Walt Disney World® and meet Winnie the Pooh, a heartwarming experience that brought her family closer together.
  • Everett’s day on the water with big-wave pro surfer Kai Lenny—a powerful reminder of the joy and resilience Make-A-Wish brings to children facing critical illnesses.
  • Schuler Family Foundation names Make-A-Wish Hawaii’s headquarters in memory of Jim Schuler, whose nearly two decades of unwavering support helped grant life-changing wishes.
