Make-A-Wish® brings wishes to life for children with critical illnesses, giving them “the best day ever”. We believe a wish experience can be a game-changer. The belief that a wish experience can be a game-changer guides us and inspires us to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids we serve. In the United States and its territories, on average, we are able to grant a wish every 34 minutes.
There are over 400 local children waiting for their wishes to be granted in the Eastern Pennsylvania/Delaware area. We need the help of the community in order to make these children’s wishes come true. Make-A-Wish Philadelphia, Delaware & Susquehanna Valley is on a mission to make every day this year the best day ever for a local child. They have a goal of granting 365 wishes.
