Volunteer Spotlight: Christina B

Christina smiles for camera, close up hair pulled back.

What ways are you involved as a volunteer?
I am an airport meet and greeter and wish granter. I just finished my first wish!

How did you first find Make-A-Wish? 
My cousin Teresa is a staff member and encouraged me to volunteer. 

How long have you been volunteering with Make-A-Wish?
I have been volunteering since fall of 2022.

What has been the most rewarding aspect of volunteering with Make-A-Wish?
Getting to know the families and seeing how excited they get when they have a wish granted.

What advice would you give to new volunteers?
Enjoy the process—from the initial meeting with the child, to wish boosts, to the granting of the wish. Enjoy knowing that you are making wishes come true. How many people can say that they actually make wishes come true?

What story would you share to inspire others to become a volunteer with Make-A-Wish?
Try new things! The other volunteers are amazing at taking you under their wing and teaching you!
