As one fiscal year ends and another begins, we’re excited to take a moment and celebrate the joy, hope and strength that children with critical illnesses across 161 counties in North Texas discovered through their wishes over the last year.

These children had an incredible time during their wish experiences, whether they were meeting their favorite characters at Disney World, relaxing in their new backyard playhouses or trying on new outfits during their shopping sprees.

Thanks to donors like you, Make-A-Wish granted 634 wishes throughout the last year! Your generosity helped grant wishes for kids like:

• Lilly, 18, who wished to visit a dude ranch and ride horses in wide open spaces.
• Carter, 11, who wished for an accessible golf cart so he could spend more time outside with his family.
• Abree, 14, who wished to go on a road trip to Los Angeles. She visited Universal Studios and the Grand Canyon!
• Gabe, 4, who wished for a magical trip to Walt Disney World and had the best time meeting his favorite characters.
• Levi, 10, who wished to go to Texas Rangers spring training and meet the team.

634 children experienced the life-giving power of a wish this year. 634 families were transformed by their wish experiences. 634 children have amazing memories to reflect on—and we can’t thank you enough for helping make that happen!

As we celebrate and reminisce on a powerful year, we keep the nearly 1,100 wish kids who are still waiting for their wishes to come true top of mind. These children and their families face incredibly difficult medical journeys, and the hope of a wish can help carry them through the most trying days.

Will you help us grant even more wishes by making a generous gift today?

Thank you again for your partnership and support of our mission. We look forward to granting more wishes with you over the next 365 days!
