A wish can be life-changing for a child facing a critical illness – and everyone involved. 💫

Together, we can make more wishes come true.

Summer is our busiest time of year for granting wishes, and volunteers help ensure children facing critical illnesses experience the transformative joy and hope from a wish come true. 💙

Alejandro lives with a respiratory disorder but fights every day with the heart of a champion. His wish to meet his hero, two-time undisputed super-middleweight champion Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez, came true. Training with Canelo fueled Alejandro's determination. 🥊 @ESPN @makeawish

Born with a congenital heart condition, John isn’t able to play his favorite sport. But the Houston Texans became a daily dose of hope. Thanks to the Texans, ESPN, and Make-A-Wish, John finally met his hero: Texans QB C.J. Stroud. @makeawish @espn @houstontexans

A wish can be a turning point in a child’s medical journey, so much so that many wish alumni credit their wish for shaping them into who they are today. 💙 You can help give more children with critical illnesses hope for brighter days ahead. ☀️ Give now: https://t.co/ZdCldXJLjl

A wish can be life-changing for a child fighting a critical illness. Like Mary Alice, whose love for horses influenced her heartfelt wish – to go to a dude ranch in Colorado and ride a horse for the first time! 🐴💙 #summerofwishes

Wish kid Bryce is a fighter with a big laugh and an even bigger heart. Living with sickle cell disease, his wish gave him a moment to just be a kid.

When Lynetta was diagnosed with cancer, her best friend Lila was her rock. When Lila moved away, Lynetta’s wish was to reunite with her best friend – and it came true with a road trip to Ohio! “They hugged for forever when they saw each other. It was pure joy.” – Lynetta’s mom 💙
