Make-A-Wish North Texas

With the help of our community, Make-A-Wish North Texas grants life-changing wishes to critically-ill children. While it is apparent wishes improve quality of live, research is showing wishes also have proven physical and emotional benefits that can give children with critical illnesses a higher chance of survival.
At Make-A-Wish, we value our community, including our wish families, corporate partners, donors, volunteers, and employees, Keeping the best interest of the children and families we serve at the center of all policy decisions we make, we continue to weather this historic pandemic and its effects.
We recognize the broad economic consequences this time has had; many individuals and organizations will feel the impact. Make-A-Wish is certainly one of them as an organization completely funded through philanthropy. While some of our communities in the 161 Texas counties we serve have been affected more than others, the limits during the past few months have delayed many wishes and strained funding resources.
When a wish is granted, a child replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy and anxiety with hope. Wish kids are empowered and confidence is boosted. It is in times like these that we see even more clearly how our mission can help shine a light in the lives of wish kids and their families as well as the broader community. Indeed, we can all use the bright effects of hope and the warmth that comes with being a part of something larger than ourselves.
