Little Wishes Fundraiser!

Little Wishes is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded in 2003 by two pediatric oncology nurses to help support seriously ill,  hospitalized children.  Little Wishes helps pediatric patients identify things that bring them joy, and then make their little wishes come true. 

All wishes are granted in the hospital in a most fun and joyful way by the hospital staff. What makes this program special is that each qualified patient gets to make a little wish every 14 days.  This gives patients something significant to look forward to during their long hospitalizations and medical treatments. 

Little Wishes serves 22 hospitals in 12 States and has granted almost 17,000 wishes!

Little Wishes gifts brighten up the days of these seriously ill children, bringing back smiles to their faces, and gives them hope for a better tomorrow.

I know this to be true because I experienced the Little Wishes happiness  first-hand at a very young age.  I was only 2 years old when I was diagnosed with Leukemia. My treatment required rigorous  chemotherapy and long hospitalizations for 3 1/2 years. Throughout my treatment, Little Wishes and the Child Life team were always by my side and by my parents' side. Whenever I was in pain, sad, weak, or afraid,  they were there  encouraging me, giving me strength and granting me my wishes that brought me so much happiness. Little Wishes has a special place in my heart; they constantly worried about my well-being and calmed my parents when dealing with long nights at the hospital.

 It would mean so much to me and my family if you could donate as much as you can to help bring joy to children and families who are going through so much.
