When a wish is granted for you or a family member, you become a part of a larger family; one that understands the trials and tribulations of childhood illness in a way no one else can. You and your family’s wish journey becomes part of Make-A-Wish history. And, just because the wish has been granted, doesn’t mean the wish connection is over. We’d love to stay in touch.
Volunteer
There are many ways to volunteer within Make-A-Wish. Become a Wish Granter and help grant a wish for another family or become an ambassador for the chapter, helping to raise awareness and garner community support for our mission. Learn more about the different volunteer opportunities HERE

The purpose of the Mentorship Program is to provide lasting connection and share information to wish alumni and alumni families who had wishes granted by Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana. This group is for you! Members are encouraged to share stories, pose questions, and interact with one another.

Currently under development is our new mentor program. An older wish alum will have the ability to mentor a younger wish child, showing them the ropes and how to get the most out of their wish experience. Alumni who have gone through the program are paired with wish kids who have just become eligible for their wish to answer any questions they may have or just have a buddy to talk to. The bond formed through this mentorship program would be invaluable for a wish kid and their families, adding further clarity and excitement to the wish journey.
