For most kids, summer is a time of fun and celebration. But for kids growing up with a critical illness, like 8-year-old Abby, it can be a time of isolation and tough medical treatments.

With your first gift today, you can provide these kids with the much-needed joy, hope and strength that comes from a wish experience – and oftentimes, better health outcomes. That’s why we need your help to raise $30,000 before midnight tomorrow to make more life-changing wishes come true for kids facing critical illnesses this summer.

Will you become a donor today and grant more wishes for kids like Abby?

While Abby was undergoing cancer treatments, she spent much of the time feeling sick and weak – often with rags and a bucket next to her. So when her wish for a garden tea party-themed playhouse came true thanks to this community’s generosity, it gave her not only a crucial piece of her childhood back but also plenty of opportunities for summer fun. The playhouse was outfitted with beds perfect for sleepovers for Abby and her sister, a snack area with her very own cooler and, of course, a tea set for tea parties.

Today, you have the chance to fill more kids’ lives with much-needed joy and hope as they go through difficult medical journeys this summer – so please don’t pass it by. Will you make your first gift now to make more life-changing wishes come true for kids facing critical illnesses?

Thank you for coming through for kids like Abby.
