Make-A-Wish North Texas creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Right now, your gift is more important than ever, as more than 1,100 children across North Texas are currently waiting for their wishes to be granted. You can help bring them joy and hope by making a gift to Make-A-Wish North Texas this North Texas Giving Day. The average cost of a wish is $10,000. Help us reach our goal of granting 13 wishes by making your donation today!
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.
We are incredibly grateful to the Donovitz Family Foundation for their generous $75,000 commitment in matching funds for North Texas Giving Day! This remarkable contribution means that every donation we receive will be matched dollar for dollar, effectively doubling the impact of each gift and amplifying the support we can provide to our community. Thank you for your dedication to Make-A-Wish North Texas!

A wish experience can be a game-changer for a child with a critical illness.
This one belief guides us in everything we do at Make-A-Wish. It inspires us to grant life-changing wishes for children going through so much. It compels us to be creative in exceeding the expectations of every wish kid. It drives us to make our donated resources go as far as possible. Most of all, it's the founding principle of our vision to grant the wish of every eligible child.
This is our mission:
Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Wishes are more than just a nice thing. And they are far more than gifts or singular events in time. Wishes impact everyone involved: wish kids, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical professionals and communities. For wish kids, just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments. Parents might finally feel like they can be optimistic. And still others might realize all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or philanthropy.
