We just wrapped up our fiscal year and we are so happy about all the wishes we were able to help grant. We granted 200 wishes to local wish kids and 389 wishes to kids whose wish brought them to LA! This huge accomplishment is a testament to the hard work of our staff and volunteers—a special shout-out to our donors and supporters. We are looking forward to another year of life-changing wishes. Cheers! 🎉💙

Wish Granted! ✨ Wish kid Julio's wish to have a shopping spree came true! 🛍️ With a huge smile, Julio dove into a world of shoes at COOLKICKS, picking out shoes he’d been dreaming of. Seeing his face light up with every new find was absolutely priceless. 💖 It’s moments like these that remind us of the magic of making dreams come true. A huge shoutout to our volunteers Ray and Saoirse who helped during the shopping spree! 👏🌟 #WishGranted #ShoppingSpree #MakeAWishLA

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.

Wish kid Camille has always been an animal person. Her wish to have an animal encounter was granted when she had the opportunity to visit an animal sanctuary, Nurtured by Nature. Camille met animals like otters, capybaras, kangaroos, and sloths. She made many amazing memories with her family and her new animal friends! 🦦🦘🦥 We have 60 local children waiting to have their wish granted this summer. 💙 Donate today to help grant wishes: wish.org/la/donatenow 🌞 #summerofwishes #wishgranted #letsgrantwishes
