About Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island
Make-A-Wish® Massachusetts and Rhode Island creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. A wish can be a spark that helps a child believe anything is possible. In the face of life-threatening medical conditions, wishes enable children to experience profound joy, renewed strength and resiliency, and lasting hope to keep striving and dreaming for the future.
Together with generous supporters and 450-plus volunteers, the organization has granted the wishes of over 10,000 children in Massachusetts and Rhode Island since its founding, and its vision is to grant the wish of every medically eligible child. The organization is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2023 and relies on the generosity of the community to continue its wish-granting work.
