Bring Hope to North Texas Children – Your gift has the power to heal!
Every Wish Begins with Hope
At a Wish with Wings, we’ve seen firsthand how the power of a wish can light up the lives of children facing life-threatening medical conditions. A wish is more than just a moment of joy; it’s a spark of hope that fuels the courage to fight for a brighter future. Hope can be a powerful healing source and a child who still believes in the power of hope can have the expectation of a better tomorrow!
Beyond the Wish – Ongoing Support for Wish Families
At a Wish with Wings, we know that the journey doesn’t end with the granting of a wish. We continue to stand by our Wish Kids and their families, offering support, encouragement, and care long after the wish has been fulfilled. Through regular check-ins, special events, and a community of compassion, we help ensure that the magic and hope of a wish continue to uplift and inspire our Wish Families as they navigate their medical journeys.
Meet George – A Story of Hope, Healing, and Furry Friendship
George is a 9-year-old boy from Fort Worth who was diagnosed earlier this year with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, an aggressive and rare form of pediatric cancer. He loves being outside to play soccer and basketball and is known for stopping and saying hello to meet every single dog in his neighborhood.
In the dark hours of that first night at Cook Children's, his mom promised him a dog. George has always wanted a dog more than anything, but the answer was always no. "Everything changed that first night," George's mom shared, "we decided we would never put off joy again." His Wish for a dog was the balm that soothed him in those early days of chemo, nausea, fatigue, and the sadness of knowing he wouldn't soon be going home.
George recently received word from a Wish with Wings that he would be receiving his very own puppy in October! George and his mom recently visited the Wish House to meet Willie the Wish Dog and the team and we can't wait for George's "Puppy Wish" to come true! The promise of a new furry friend and the hope of walks, snuggling, and normalcy, keep George going on his hardest days. George enjoys reading Greek mythology and decided to name his puppy Apollo because Apollo is the God of Healing.
To HOPE...and beyond!! A Wish is a hope that heals in the moment and a hope that sustains in the future!

Granting Magical Wishes for young Texans with life-threatening medical conditions since 1982.
Our wings were inspired by a butterfly – but they started with a big bird.
This year, we’re celebrating 43 years giving wings to the wishes of over 1,950 Texas children bravely fighting life-threatening medical conditions.
Founded in 1982, a Wish with Wings was Texas’ first wish-granting agency. The very first wish we granted was a Big Bird backyard playset for 5-year-old Johnny M, and that was only the beginning of a long line of magical moments in the lives of these inspiring children.
From literally hundreds of Disney World family vacations, Hawaii and beach trips, computers, backyard playsets, and shopping sprees, a Wish with Wings has been sharing the gifts of hope, happiness, and promise to children across the state of Texas, and especially right here in and around Fort Worth and Dallas!
To celebrate our 43rd year of Granting Magical Wishes, help us exceed last year's goal. Our goal of $75,000.00 in 2025 will help ensure that no child's Wish is ever left unfulfilled. In 2024 we granted a record number of 66 Wishes and we are currently on target to break that record in 2025. But we cannot do it without YOU.
We are entrusted with creating priceless memories for these amazing children and their families. But we can’t do it without your support. The sound of a child’s laughter, their smiles and excitement upon receiving a Wish are just a few of the gifts you give our Wish children and their families by being a part of mission and magic of a Wish with Wings. But we can’t do it without you! Your gifts today on North Texas Giving Day will enable us to continue giving hope, joy, happiness and laughter to children facing an uncertain future. Because, when you choose hope, anything is possible.
We make Wishes happen. YOU make them possible!
