“Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.”
We believe that granting the one true wish of all eligible children can not only help them feel better, but can also help them get better. Wishes have proven physical and emotional benefits that can give children with critical illnesses a higher chance of survival.
Help us reach our goal of granting 50 WISHES to children battling a critical illness in Tallahassee, Panama City Beach, Destin, Pensacola, and surrounding Northwest counties.
Make a donation to the campaign by clicking the MAKE A DONATION button.
Below are the most popular wish types and the average cost of each wish. Scroll down to see a current list of local children and their wish requests.
Your gift will help fund a child’s wish to go to their favorite destination, whether that’s to go surfing in Hawaii, skiing in Colorado, visiting a favorite National Park, or seeing the Northern Lights in Alaska!
Your gift will help grant a child’s wish to have a backyard playhouse, a playset, an awesome sweet 16 birthday party, or so much more!
Your gift will help fund a shopping spree, room-redo, theme park, beach stay-cation wish!
Your gift will partially help grant a child’s wish to have their room redone to become their new happy place or to visit their favorite theme park!
