WishMakers Wanted! Become a WishMaker and Make Wishes Come True

As long as children face devastating critical illnesses, they'll be counting on WishMakers like you to create the hope and strength they need.

Here at Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island, our mission is to grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. The wishes we grant wouldn’t be possible without the support of countless WishMakers stepping up throughout the process. WishMakers are everywhere, but more are needed in order to achieve our vision of granting the wish of every eligible child.

April is World Wish Month. Join in the global celebration of the Make-A-Wish mission by showing your support as a WishMaker for Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island!

With over 650 local children waiting for a wish, this World Wish Month is an important opportunity to celebrate our mission and encourage our communities to take action. Please lead by example and show those around you how committed you are to wish granting!
