Make-A-Wish North Texas creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Right now, your gift matters more than ever.
Over 1,100 children across North Texas are waiting for their wishes to be granted and you can help bring them the joy, hope, and strength they need. This North Texas Giving Day, your support will help us reach our goal of granting 20 life-changing wishes.
Every gift brings us one step closer to creating unforgettable experiences for children facing critical illnesses.
We’re incredibly grateful to the Donovitz Family Foundation for their generous $125,000 matching gift! That means every dollar you give will be matched dollar-for-dollar, instantly doubling your impact and helping wishes come true for twice as many children.
At Make-A-Wish, we seek to grant the wish of every eligible child and that starts with YOU. Research shows that a wish can be a turning point, giving children the strength they need to fight their illness. Together, we can make that happen.
According to research:
- Wish kids are 2.5x less likely to have unplanned hospital visits
- Wishes help families save $20,000+ in medical bills
- 97% of families observe an increase in their wish kids' emotional health
Since 1982, Make-A-Wish North Texas has granted more than 13,000 life-changing wish experiences across 161 counties. For more information, visit wish.org/ntx.
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 not just “nice to have”—they are life-changing.
They’re more than gifts or single moments in time. Wishes create a ripple effect that touches everyone involved: wish kids, families, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical teams, and entire communities. For a wish child, the journey toward their wish can spark the courage to continue treatments. Parents may feel hope and optimism return. Volunteers and supporters often discover the incredible impact they can have through giving their time, resources, or talents. A wish doesn’t just change one life—it can inspire countless others.
Donate: 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 this North Texas Giving Day.
