How You Can Help

Donate today to give children hope for tomorrow

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

Our vision is to grant the wish of every eligible child in our region. In 2023, Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island will celebrate our 40th Anniversary. Since our first wish granted—8-year-old Colleen’s wish to go to York Beach, Maine—we have granted over 9,000 wishes for local children. The support of our community allows us to share the incredible hope and joy of a wish fulfilled. Browse the opportunities below to discover the many ways you can get involved.
