Together, we create life-changing wishes for Michigan children with critical illnesses.

关于我们

Make-A-Wish? Michigan's mission: Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. A wish experience can be a game-changer for a child with a critical illness. This one belief guides us in everything we do at Make-A-Wish. It inspires us to grant life-changing wishes for children going through so much. It compels us to be creative in exceeding the expectations of every wish kid. It drives us to make our donated resources go as far as possible. Most of all, it's the founding principle of our vision to grant the wish of every eligible child. Wishes are more than just a nice thing. And they are far more than gifts, or singular events in time. Wishes impact everyone involved—wish kids, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical professionals and communities. For wish kids, just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments. Parents might finally feel like they can be optimistic. And still others might realize all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or philanthropy.

    Genesis had her heart set on the perfect quincea?era. ?? From the venue and music, to the decorations and her stunning custom dress, her wish was made possible thanks to several community partners. Genesis made a grand entrance with her chambelanes (court of honor) and was the center of attention as she danced with her family to a live mariachi band and Ballet Folklórico. The ballroom was decorated in pink, her favorite color, as well as hundreds of flowers and balloons. The power of teamwork made Genesis’ rite of passage a night to remember. ?? This Hispanic Heritage Month, give children like Genesis the hope and joy they deserve. Donate at wish.org/donate. Génesis tenía su corazón puesto en tener la quincea?era perfecta. ?? Desde el lugar y la música, hasta la decoración y su impresionante vestido personalizado, su deseo fue posible gracias a varios integrantes de la comunidad. Génesis hizo una gran entrada con sus chambelanes (corte de honor) y fue el centro de atención mientras bailaba con su familia gracias al mariachi en vivo y al grupo de ballet folklórico.

El increíble trabajo en equipo hizo que este momento tan importante para Génesis fuera una noche para recordar. ??

    It was a beautiful evening spent at Bonobo Winery in Traverse City with friends of Make-A-Wish Michigan! Traverse City wish kid Kelsie, and her family also joined us! Kelsie shared her wish story when she so selflessly wished to GIVE BACK to other kids in the hospital. Her story moved us as her wish was to provide sick kids with light-up blankets for comfort and warmth when they feel alone or scared of the dark. Special thanks to Kelsie’s family, Jeff Steigerwald, Amber Schilling, Charlie Wondergem, Kendall Meijer, and Bonobo Winery for gathering their friends and family to learn more about our mission and help raise over $12,000 and counting for future wishes! Hospitals can be a scary place for kids, especially when they don’t feel well. Wishes bring hope, joy, and strength when kids need it the most. You can help support our mission at Michigan.wish.org #WishMI #WineAndWishes #helpgrantwishes

    September is National Sickle Cell Awareness month, and we love looking back at this #TBT from wish kid Quincy’s wish trip in 2017. Quincy 9, was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia at birth and wished with go to LEGOLAND California with his family. Quincy's mom Lana noted that just the anticipation of his wish trip motivated him through recovery and propelled him forward in his journey for health. “Make-A-Wish takes you out of the reality of life that can sometimes be really tough, it allows you to just play and pretend. It even allows us adults to be a child for a little while and have some peace at a time when there is rarely much peace.” By supporting Make-A-Wish Michigan, you are helping to transform the lives of children right in your community. All funds raised stay in Michigan to grant the wishes of local kids. Visit michigan.wish.org to give the gift of a wish today. #wishmi #sicklecellawarenessmonth #WishMI #40yearsgrantingwishes

    #WishWednesday Jackson,12 received his wish to visit Distortions Unlimited in Colorado, and they created his own designed Halloween Animatronic monster prop! Check out this super fun video: https://lnkd.in/eptHmDZy Prior to his visit Jackson sent a Halloween prop design, which they sculpted, molded and poured up in latex. Jackson then visited and toured Distortions Unlimited along with his family. During his visit he helped choose the paint color of his monster which he named ‘Crimson’, and turned on his animatronic prop to watch it move, shake, and spit in the epic finale! This Halloween season Jackson will have the only Crimson prop in his yard haunt "The Tunnel of Doom" and Distortions may still use the this monster for a future Halloween prop release!

    Happy Birthday to Make-A-Wish Michigan! To commemorate Make-A-Wish? Michigan’s 40th birthday, we embarked on an unprecedented journey in August and granted 40 wishes for a trip to a Florida theme park … ALL AT THE SAME TIME! Because the illness impacts the entire family, we take great care to ensure the child's family is part of the wish journey. This means that?over?230 people were part of these 40 wishes - our wish kids, their parents and their siblings?all experienced the power of a wish! Our wish families were treated to a birthday celebration at Give Kids the World, a dessert party and private viewing of the fireworks at their favorite theme park, and had a chance to connect and build relationships with other Michigan wish families. It was a magical week!!? ? Our chapter is so grateful for the support of our staff, board, supporters and volunteers to give these families this experience during this transformational trip.
