More than 500 children across Missouri and Kansas are waiting for their wishes. Together, we can help change that.

Every child deserves something extraordinary to look forward to, especially when facing a critical illness. A wish can bring hope during uncertain times, strength through difficult days and joy when it’s needed most.

But wishes don’t happen without people like you.

On November 10–11, Make-A-Wish Missouri & Kansas is rallying our community for Wishes Can’t Wait, a 36-hour fundraising challenge with an ambitious goal of raising $900,000 to help grant heartfelt wishes for children with critical illnesses across our community.

For 36 hours, we’ll come together around one powerful belief: every eligible child deserves the life-changing power of a wish. And with your help, we can bring more children closer to experiencing that hope.

Why Wishes Can’t Wait

For a child facing a critical illness, life can become consumed by medical appointments, treatments and uncertainty. A wish offers something different: an opportunity to dream, to imagine what’s possible and to look forward to an extraordinary experience.

Right now, more than 500 children in Missouri and Kansas are waiting for their wishes. Every one of them has a story, a heartfelt wish and a future filled with possibilities.

Your Gift Can Help Make a Wish Possible

Every donation helps Make-A-Wish Missouri & Kansas move closer to granting the heartfelt wishes children in our community are waiting for.

Thanks to the generosity of our matching donors, eligible gifts can have 4X the impact, with matching funds available up to $675,000!

Our goal is ambitious, but so is the power of a community united by hope. Whether you make a gift, encourage a friend to give or share our campaign with your network, you can help make more wishes possible.

Every gift matters. Every voice helps. Every moment brings us closer to a wish.

Your gift today can help bring hope, strength and joy to a child who needs it most.
