Since 1980, Make-A-Wish® has given hope, strength, and joy to children with life-threatening medical conditions. From our humble beginnings, we've evolved into an organization that grants a child's wish in the United States and its territories every 38 minutes.
Make-A-Wish Central and Northern Florida began in 1986 and has offices in Orlando, Jacksonville, and Tallahassee and throughout Central and Northern Florida.
Just like each child, each wish is unique. Make-A-Wish aims to provide strength, hope, transformation, and a sense of community.
Strength - Research shows a wish can give kids the strength to fight against and even overcome a critical illness.
Hope - A wish renews hope, uplifts spirits, and encourages the belief in the impossible.
Transformation - A wish forever transforms the lives of children, their families, and entire communities.
Community - A wish unites neighbors, friends, and entire communities in life-changing experiences.
Prayers to this little sweetie and her lovely family. As someone w/ brain cancer I can relate to the being poked & prodded. Hope she recovers! God is so good. He will make a way for Iris & her wonderful family 😊 bless! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations Cole! The MAW Foundation is near and dear to my heart. My only child, my son Marco Antonio was a MAW recipient many years ago, and was featured with Chuck Norris, Walker Texas Ranger TV show. Marco was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. He lived till 32. We also met the founder of MAW, years ago, Mr. Frank Shankowitz. Netflix has a movie Wish Man [2019], the story of how he started it. I'm presently working at HCHS in the ESE program as a long term sub. I will just close by saying you are in my prayers. God bless...
I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.
The fact that a group of the most lethal and precise men on the planet will drop everything they could be doing to help a child is the reason I have hope for this world
