At Make-A-Wish, we seek to bring every eligible child’s wish to life because every child deserves a childhood. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight their illness. Together with generous donors, supporters, staff and volunteers, Make-A-Wish North Texas and 59 other Make-A-Wish chapters throughout the U.S. have granted more than 330,000 wishes nationwide. Since 1982, Make-A-Wish North Texas has granted more than 12,500 life-changing wish experiences across 161 counties. For more information, visit wish.org/ntx.

Medical research reveals wishes provide physical and emotional benefits that can give children with critical illnesses a higher chance of survival. Wishes are catalysts for hope - profoundly effective in fueling a child’s drive to defy the odds and push toward tomorrow. Families are unified and entire communities are enriched - the positive impact is boundless.

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.
