Welcome

Welcome to The Wish Express, where you’re helping children with critical illnesses have their unique wishes granted. Gifting sick kids hope, joy and lasting memories.

Start your journey

You’ve arrived on The Wish Express, where 900 kids are currently waiting for their Wish Journey to begin.

Come with us and see how you’re making the powerful Wish Effect possible, creating a lasting impact on children facing critical illnesses and their families.

What is a Wish Journey?

Every Make-A-Wish wish is carefully designed and delivered over five stages. We call this a Wish Journey. Watch this video to learn about each stage and why they're crucial to create the most impactful wish possible for our wish kids.

The Wish Effect
