Help Grant Wishes with Macy's
Celebrate 20 years of making wishes come true together
Thank you to our partner, Macy's, for 20 years of granting life-changing wishes together. In 2022, Macy's donated $2 million to help transform the lives of wish kids like Vivek, surpassing more than $144M in total donations. Thank you, Macy's, for restoring hope for children when they need it most, and igniting everlasting joy for everyone who helps make wishes come true.
Meet Vivek
When he was 17 years old, Vivek’s life was turned upside down by a devastating leukemia diagnosis. Suddenly, instead of enjoying the rest of his high school experience and thinking about college, Vivek was stuck in the hospital enduring painful treatments.
During this difficult and isolating time, he found comfort in sketching fashion designs. After much reflection, Vivek ultimately decided that his heartfelt wish was to design and release his own clothing line with a focus on inspiring others facing a daunting diagnosis. He also knew that he wanted his designs to give back.
Soon, Make-A-Wish® connected Vivek with Macy’s to help bring his vision to life. With the support of Macy’s creative experts, Vivek designed three pieces inspired by his medical journey. He even had the chance to travel to New York City to see Macy’s headquarters and model his designs for the online store.
Vivek was excited to learn more about the design process and create his own capsule collection, but his favorite part of his wish was that it enabled him to give back to other children with critical illnesses. In honor of his wish, Macy’s donated 50 percent of the profits from the sale price of Vivek’s designs to Make-A-Wish.
