💙 “I am extremely proud of my 37 years as a volunteer for the Make-A-Wish organization. So many wishes and so many smiles have brought hope, strength and joy to the children, their families and to me. I have a quote I always say: One hundred years from now it will not matter what kind of car you drove. What kind of house you lived in. Nor how much you had in the bank. But the world may be a little better because...you were important in the life of a child.” – Lori, Make-A-Wish South Carolina volunteer

Every wish is powered by volunteers who help create life-changing hope for children with critical illnesses – and often find their own lives transformed along the way. ✨ Join volunteers like Lori in making wishes come true: wish.org/sc/volunteer

Joye Law Firm - South Carolina has been an incredible partner to Make-A-Wish South Carolina this year, helping create moments of hope and joy for children with critical illnesses and their families. 💙

Recently, they hosted a fun New York City-themed sendoff for 15-year-old Logan, whose wish was to visit NYC and see a Broadway show. After receiving a kidney transplant, Logan and her family recently returned from an unforgettable trip that included visiting the Statue of Liberty, taking a foodie tour, exploring the city, and seeing Hamilton on Broadway.

Wishes like Logan's are made possible because of partners who care deeply about the children and families we serve. Thank you, Joye Law Firm, for helping create life-changing experiences and unforgettable memories.

This summer, wish kids across South Carolina have been experiencing the moments they've been looking forward to most. From Disney destinations, Hawaii, Japan and Ireland to shopping sprees, college scholarships and one-of-a-kind experiences, wishes are creating memories that will last a lifetime.

No two wishes are the same, but each one gives a child with a critical illness something positive to look forward to and a renewed sense of hope. 💙

And we're not done yet. Summer of Wishes continues, and there are more life-changing wishes ahead. 💫

This summer, Aflac helped celebrate 12-year-old Talon, whose wish was to go saltwater fishing in the Florida Keys. Before Talon and his family boarded a plane for the very first time, Aflac, with support from the Midlands community, surprised him with thoughtful wish enhancements including fishing tackle, lures, signed jerseys from professional fishermen, and so much more.

As Talon's mom shared: "𝘈𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘤 𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘷𝘦 & 𝘣𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘛𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯'𝘴 𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘦-𝘈-𝘞𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮. 𝘏𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴. 𝘏𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘨 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘦 & 𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘱 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘶𝘵."

Talon recently returned from an incredible wish filled with big catches, snorkeling adventures, crystal-clear water, white sandy beaches, and precious family memories.

For the past eight years, Aflac has been a dedicated partner of Make-A-Wish South Carolina, contributing more than $67,500 and helping create unforgettable wish celebrations for local children with critical illnesses.

Partners like Aflac make our Summer of Wishes possible. Thank you for showing wish kids and their families that an entire community is cheering them on and helping make life-changing wishes come true.
