At 18 years old, Kimberly has faced challenges no young person should have to endure. Her rare illness and the treatments she depended on often kept her from enjoying many of the experiences that make the teenage years so special.

When Kimberly learned she would receive a wish, she knew exactly what she wanted: a room makeover.

When she saw her transformed room, Kimberly was overwhelmed with gratitude. She shared that it was even more beautiful than she imagined - so much so that she slept soundly through the night for the first time in years. She even joked that she may not want to leave for college now that she finally has a space where she feels completely at peace.

We're also thrilled to share that Kimberly is now in remission, making this wish story even more meaningful!

A wish journey is filled with moments of joy, hope, and a little bit of magic. 💙🍑⁠
⁠
Recently, long-time supporter Pearson Farm helped celebrate wish kid Ayden, 7, who is living with a heart condition and dreams of visiting Epic Universe to meet his favorite characters- Mario, Bowser, and Princess Peach! 👑⁠
⁠
Ayden embarked on a special scavenger hunt across the farm to rescue Princess Peach, who was waiting in the peach orchard. The adventure was full of smiles, excitement, and wish-worthy memories.⁠
⁠
Now you can help make more wishes possible. Purchase a Pearson Farm peach box, and a portion of every sale will support wish kids like Ayden across Georgia.⁠

Meet Jalen. 💙

At 14 years old, Jalen is a straight-A student who loves science, math, history, and trying new foods. He plays the saxophone, volunteers at his local library, and dreams of one day becoming President of the United States.

But Jalen is also battling lymphoma.

His wish is to travel to the Bahamas with his family- a chance to explore, make memories, and focus on being a kid.

Today, we're kicking off our Summer of Wishes campaign with a goal of granting over 200 wishes for Georgia children facing critical illnesses. Jalen is just one of hundreds of kids waiting for their life-changing wish.

And thanks to Classic Subaru of Atlanta, every Summer gift up to $15,000 will be matched dollar for dollar to help grant twice the hope, strength, and joy.

Join us in making this a Summer of Wishes now: https://bit.ly/4dT8Rji ☀️✨

Today, on International Children’s Day, we’re celebrating the joy every child deserves. 💙⁠
⁠
At just 9 years old, Rylee faces the daily challenges of a metabolic disorder with incredible courage and resilience. Recently, her wish to visit Walt Disney World came true, giving her the chance to experience unforgettable adventures, make magical memories, and simply enjoy being a kid.⁠
⁠
Because every child deserves moments of wonder, laughter, and hope. ✨⁠
⁠
Thank you to A Whole Lotta Christmas for helping make Rylee’s wish come true!⁠

Today is our birthday! Make-A-Wish Georgia has been granting wishes for kids like James for 31 years. 🥳

James may navigate the world differently, but that hasn’t stopped him from finding joy- especially when he’s with his sisters. 💙

Living with a nervous system disorder that limits his mobility and speech, 5-year-old James often watched from the sidelines. But thanks to his wish for an adaptive backyard playset, he now has a space built just for him.

More than a playset, James’ wish means independence, confidence, and being right in the middle of the fun where he belongs. ✨

In the last 31 years, we have granted more than 10,000 wishes for kids just like James across the state of Georgia, and we couldn't do it without your help!
