Make-A-Wish MS is part of a global movement dedicated to granting life-changing wishes for children diagnosed with critical illnesses. Supported by thousands of volunteers, donors, and community partners, the organization works tirelessly to bring hope, strength, and joy to children and their families when they need it most. Every wish is rooted in the belief that a fulfilled wish can be a powerful turning point, inspiring children to believe in what’s possible and face their medical journeys with renewed courage and resilience.
Inspired by the first wish granted in 1980 to a young boy battling leukemia, Make-A-Wish has since created hundreds of thousands of meaningful experiences that uplift families and unite communities. Guided by a mission to grant the wish of every eligible child, Make-A-Wish MS values compassion, creativity, and stewardship in all it does. Wishes go beyond moments of happiness; they strengthen families, inspire generosity, and leave a lasting impact on everyone involved, proving the extraordinary power of hope in action.
