Make-A-Wish Hawaii (MAWH) creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We seek to bring every eligible child’s wish to life, because a wish is an integral part of a child’s medical journey. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight their illness. Headquartered in Honolulu, MAWH is considered one of the top charities in the state, with every dollar raised in Hawaii staying in Hawaii to support local wishes. Our organization has been transforming lives, and uniting our Hawaii community in the process, for 40 years. One of the first local chapters established, MAWH continues to be among the busiest in the nation. Together, generous donors, supporters, staff and more than 400 volunteers have granted more than 1,500 wishes for local keiki across the state of Hawaii since 1982 and have hosted more than 17,000 others for children around the world for wishes to visit our islands.

Wish granted! 💫

A fighter at heart, 16-year-old Dayzen of Waianae has never stopped defying the odds. After beating a rare and aggressive cancer, he faced another life-changing challenge following a serious e-bike accident. As he works to relearn skills such as walking and talking, Dayzen wished for a “man cave”—a comfortable space of his own where he could continue therapy, spend time with family and friends, and focus on moving forward.

His wish came to life through an incredible community effort. About 20 volunteers helped build the space, with Honolulu Freight Service providing transportation and HENSEL PHELPS donating labor, concrete block materials and supplies. Cache Valley Electric and Consolidated Electrical Distributors also helped bring the space to fruition, and Aloha Always in All Ways and FAM Hawaii donated Dazon’s favorite—Labubu dolls and Labubu-themed merchandise—to personalize the space.

Surrounded by loved ones and volunteers, Dayzen celebrated the reveal of a mancave designed for healing, connection and new memories. 💙
