Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Every eligible child needs a wish!

About us

Since 1980, Make-A-Wish has granted hundreds of thousands of transformative wish experiences worldwide. Our organization’s vision is to grant the heartfelt wish of every eligible child battling critical illness. Here across North Texas, we are working to make this a reality in the 161 counties we serve. Wishes are catalysts for hope -- profoundly effective in fueling a child’s drive to defy the odds and push toward tomorrow. Medical research reveals physical and emotional benefits that can give children with critical illnesses a higher chance of survival. When a wish is granted, a child replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy and anxiety with hope. Families are unified and entire communities are enriched -- the positive impact is boundless. Right now, wishes are waiting! Across our chapter, referrals are at an all-time high and funding determines the rate at which we are able to grant wishes. Your gift of time or money is crucial to close the gap between the number of wishes Make-A-Wish is able to grant and the number we need to grant. It is because of generous donors, dedicated volunteers and valuable partners in the medical community that each wish becomes a reality. Every eligible child needs a wish to count on!

    Do you have unused airline miles? Donate them to Make-A-Wish and help send wish kids and their families on unforgettable adventures! Your miles can make a difference, just like they did for wish kid L.A. After enduring over 70 surgeries and 400 days in the hospital, she needed the hope of a wish to remind her of brighter days ahead. When L.A.'s parents shared her wish to visit New York City was coming true, she found renewed strength to face her gastrointestinal disorder. Every mile makes a difference.

    Much like the first day of school, receiving a backpack from Make-A-Wish North Texas is a moment filled with suspense and reassurance.

Time is running out—click the link to help us grant 12 wishes by donating before September 3! Your contribution can make a child's dream come true and provide a backpack that symbolizes their hopes and aspirations. - https://lnkd.in/g5_EQ6cS

    Blane never let his illness dampen his passion. At just two years old, he followed his dad around with a bubble lawn mower, sparking a lifelong love for lawn care. This early inspiration has now blossomed into a clear vision for his future. Blane wished for lawn care equipment and business supplies, and thanks to our friends at @superscapes.inc, he received everything he dreamed of and more. Shawn Clayton, the CEO of Superscapes, is mentoring Blane, sharing invaluable insights and guidance. This wish is especially meaningful as Blane prepares for a bright future and positions himself for success. To learn how to grant unique wishes like Blane’s, click the link to become one of our dedicated volunteers. -https://lnkd.in/gZBV2HK2
