Support Local SoCal Children with Critical Illnesses
Since 1983, Make-A-Wish across Southern California has collectively created more than 20,000 wish experiences for wish children and their families. Each year, we strive to reach every medically-eligible child in our region, yet due to a lack of funding, we are only granting one out of every two wishes.
Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

Together, we can transform lives, one wish at a time. You can donate critical funds, volunteer with our wish children* or donate your airline miles to help grant wishes.
*Bilingual Spanish speakers are especially needed as Hispanic children in our region are waiting twice as long as other eligible children for their wishes.
