Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, more than seventy-five percent (75%) of wishes involved travel. That means in a normal year, Make-A-Wish chapters and affiliates need over 50,000 round trip tickets, or 2.5 billion airline miles, in order to fulfill their mission each year. Due to the impact of COVID-19, more travel-related wishes than ever are waiting to be granted when it is safe. We need your help to ensure that no child waits a day longer than necessary for their wish to come true.

Today, your support can bring experiences of hope and joy to wish kids like William (pictured above), whose wish was to travel from the Bay Area to Nintendo Headquarters in Japan.

No matter the circumstances, every child like William deserves a childhood. Children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. You can give children much-needed hope for brighter days ahead. 

Ensure your miles and rewards points are put to good use by donating them as part of our Wishes in Flight^® program. Many major airlines—including Delta and United—enable their frequent flier members to donate to Make-A-Wish. And remember: donated airline miles never expire!
