Important: Please Read Before Submitting Your Wish
To ensure your wish is considered, follow these guidelines carefully. Wishes that do not meet these requirements will be declined.
This is YOUR opportunity to share why this amazing child deserves their wish! Craft a compelling story to make it memorable and heartfelt.
Submission Guidelines: To ensure your wishes are received and processed in a timely manner, please submit them as early as possible. You may submit up to two wishes at a time, allowing for thoughtful consideration of each request. Our program operates year-round, so you are welcome to submit wishes at any point throughout the year. This ensures flexibility and continuous support to meet your needs whenever they arise. We encourage you to prioritize your most meaningful wishes to maximize the program’s impact.
Please note that while we strive to fulfill as many wishes as possible, all submissions are subject to review. Be sure to provide accurate and detailed information to help us better understand and accommodate your request. Thank you for participating and trusting us to make your wishes come true!
Eligibility: Wishes must be for children in foster care, those who have aged out of foster care, children under the supervision of a social service agency or program due to hardship, or children in need. Each wish must be referred by a school counselor or community partner to ensure eligibility and proper support.
Wishes must be made on behalf of children only and cannot be for foster parents, parents, or guardians. Once a wish is granted, a thank-you note and a photo of the child with their fulfilled wish are REQUIRED. Failure to provide these will result in being ineligible to submit future wishes. The value of the wish must not exceed $400.
Submission Requirements: Wishes must be 5-7 sentences long and provide all required information. Incomplete or blank fields will result in automatic disapproval.
Wishes must be for ONE item only—no sets or groupings.
