Pua’s wish helped her picture a brighter future.

Pua’s fight against cancer began at a time when most kids get to think about friends, selfies, and content creation. And Pua’s love for visual storytelling began all the way back in a middle school video class. So when she learned she was sick, engaging with friends online became a critical way for Pua to stay connected and express herself. Will you help a wish kid through their tough times by helping to grant a wish?

Pua needed something to hope for. To daydream about. To keep her mind off painful chemo and focused on her bright and beckoning future. Pua needed a wish. But for every kid like Pua whose wish is granted, 2 more are still waiting. That’s why we’ve extended our 7X Giving Tuesday match FOR A FEW HOURS MORE!

"I miss everything being normal,” Pua said. She also had to contend with losing her long, wavy dark hair. “After each chemo treatment, I cut it shorter and shorter until there was nothing left.”

“It’s wonderful and inspiring to see how excited she gets when she starts working on a project,” her mom, Ellen, said. “We are so thrilled and thankful.” Pua’s wish to receive videography equipment expanded her whole world and gave her everything she needs to share her life on video with the people she loves – not to mention fans and followers. Pua’s wish transformed her life. Many kids like Pua report feeling anxious, isolated or lonely during treatment, and wishes have been shown to CHANGE that. This wish was no exception.

Wishes are more than fun. Wishes change the lives of children fighting critical illnesses, giving them the priceless chance for a new beginning. Will you make an urgently needed gift now, while it can still go 7X as far to help grant waiting wishes?

Wishfully,

Make-A-Wish^®

P.S. On an average day, 40 children are added to our wishes-in-waiting list. This is your LAST CHANCE to make an urgently needed gift that goes 7X as far – please give now!
