Happy International Dog Day! 🐶💙 For many people, dogs are more than pets. They’re there for the everyday moments, offering companionship, comfort and a reason to get outside and play.

Seven-year-old Aileen wished for a boxer puppy companion of her very own. 🐾

Today, we’re celebrating all the furry friends who bring us comfort, keep us company and make our days a little better.

For Simone, being a Wish Mom has shown her firsthand just how much a wish can mean to a child and their family.

Her son’s medical journey included surgeries, MRIs, appointments, and the uncertainty that comes with living with a critical illness that has no cure. His wish gave him something entirely different to hold onto: excitement, hope, and the chance to simply be a kid.

“Watching him count down the days, dream about what was ahead, and then experience the joy of his wish was incredibly meaningful. Even now, those memories continue to lift him up during difficult times.”

That experience inspired Simone to join Women for Wishes and help other children and families experience that same sense of hope, strength, and joy when they need it most.

For Simone, the Women for Wishes community is made up of “caring, determined women who are using their voices, networks, and energy for something bigger than themselves.”

Passionate, resilient, and someone who takes action to make a difference, Simone believes everyone has a role to play in helping make wishes come true.

“Every donation, conversation, introduction, and shared post can help bring a wish closer to becoming real. Never underestimate the difference you can make.”

Join Simone in helping make life-changing wishes possible for children with critical illnesses. Donate today to support Make-A-Wish Canada.

Today is World Photography Day, and we wanted to shine a light on Karl's wish. 📸💙

Karl has a passion for photography and dreams of capturing the beauty of nature and wildlife through his lens. His wish for professional photography equipment will help him continue exploring that passion and creating memories one photo at a time.

Today, we're celebrating the power of photography to tell stories, preserve special moments, and inspire new adventures. Happy World Photography Day! ✨

“I’ve witnessed several children, including my eldest daughter, have a wish granted. The gratitude and sheer joy they experience is beyond words.”

As a Wish Mom, Annalisa knows first-hand the impact a wish can have on a child and their family. That experience inspired her to join Women for Wishes and pay it forward time and time again by supporting Make-A-Wish Canada.

For Annalisa, making a difference is about having a positive impact on the people around her and being a good role model for her three daughters. And being part of the Women for Wishes community has made that experience even more meaningful.

“I’ve always been drawn to like-minded individuals and these ladies do not disappoint. It’s female empowerment at its best, where we can collectively give core memories to children who have faced unimaginable health challenges.”

Loyal, kind, caring, and always willing to go the extra mile, Annalisa is helping make life-changing wishes possible for children with critical illnesses.

Her advice to anyone thinking about getting involved? “Don’t think twice, just join in. The families are forever grateful for your efforts. I should know – I was one of them!”

Help Annalisa and Women for Wishes make more wishes come true. Donate today to support Make-A-Wish Canada.

At 17, Édouard’s wish to meet his Canadian volleyball heroes came true. 🏐 After receiving a heart transplant that gave him a second chance, this passionate volleyball player lived his dream: training with Volleyball Canada Men's National Team and watching his idols play up close.

For Édouard, this experience was more than just a special day. It helped him reconnect with the sport he loves, create unforgettable memories with his family, and experience the life-changing power of a wish come true. His father, who also received a heart transplant, played an important role throughout his journey, supporting him through every challenge and reminding him that it was always possible to look toward the future with hope. 💙🫀

A huge thank you to Volleyball Canada and Maple Volleys for making all of this possible.
