Michigan wish kids like Johanna are being newly diagnosed with critical illnesses every day. As Johanna’s mom shared, families continue to be separated as their child undergoes treatment due to hospital restrictions. They face uncertainty and anxiety while they navigate their new medical reality. 

This year, we anticipate 800 Michigan children being diagnosed with a critical illness. That’s 800 newly diagnosed Michigan kids who have received life-altering news. These children may feel anxious and isolated. A wish invites a child to just be a kid again and empowers them to focus on their wish rather than their illness.

These are wishes that you can help grant by donating to Make-A-Wish^® Michigan today. You can help us bring joy to waiting wish kids who are feeling vulnerable. With your support, we can help ensure Michigan kids don’t wait a day longer than necessary to receive hope and strength from a wish come true.
