BOISE, Idaho —
Make-A-Wish Idaho is asking for Idahoans to come together through Families For Wishes, a fundraising campaign designed to deliver the wishes of children fighting critical illness.
Communities of family and friends can create their own fundraising page at familiesforwishes.org and raise funds to help grant life-changing wishes.
Make-A-Wish Idaho and Families for Wishes hope to raise $6,500, the average cost of one wish. Make-A-Wish Idaho hopes to grant 85 wishes in 2022.
"A child's wish begins with hope, and hope begins with you," said Janie Best President and CEO of Make-A-Wish Idaho. "By creating a Families For Wishes page and donating to Make-A-Wish Idaho this holiday season, you and your family can join us in bringing joy back into the lives of local children."
There are 145 critically ill Idaho children waiting for wishes. Donations will help Make-A-Wish Idaho grant wishes in a safe and efficient manner.
