Every child deserves joy, but for the 27,000 children in the United States diagnosed with life-threatening medical conditions this year, joy may seem like a destination out of reach.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation® is working to change that. In 2008, the Foundation granted the wishes of more than 13,500 courageous children -- a wish every 40 minutes.
Sometimes it's something simple, like 7-year-old Markell's dream to ride a horse. Other times it's more challenging, like 4-year-old Gracie's desire to have a log cabin playhouse. As you can see from Gracie's smile in the picture above, her wish was a great success. Whatever the wish, the Make-A-Wish Foundation is able to come through and help bring joy to a child facing a serious illness.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation will grant 5,000 wishes this summer. Won't you help add even more joy to these young lives? Send a message of hope and love to these brave children.

You may be hurting when so many kids are not, but you are loved and you are safe and you ARE! So much comes from one of your smiles, from your laugh. Thank you.
