Will, age 7, conducts himself professionally as a train engineer for a day.

Every wish is a unique and memorable experience for the wish child, the wish family and all those who participate in the wish. And many donors say they began their support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and its endearing mission after hearing a child’s memorable wish story.

Now you can help create more heartwarming stories for children with life-threatening medical conditions through the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America Adopt-A-Wish program. This giving option allows donors to fund a single wish experience in its entirety.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation covers all costs associated with a wish, including transportation, food, lodging and admission fees for the entire family. We will provide you with a special story about your adopted wish so that you can see how your contribution brings joy to a courageous wish child. Some of the wishes available for adoption are shown below.
