Matthew's Wish.

Directions Website

Matthew's Wish. We honor my son’s memory by sharing hope, delivering toys, and making childhood brighter for all.

Our journey began with a remarkable boy named Matthew—a bright, kind-hearted 13-year-old whose joy for life was matched only by his compassion for others. Before his passing in 2011, Matthew shared a simple yet powerful wish:
“I want to fill a tractor trailer full of toys and surprise all the kids at the hospital.”

That wish became the heart of our mission. To honor his memory, our family created Matthew’s Wish Foundation, Inc.—a nonprofit built on love, generosity, and the belief that even the smallest acts of kindness can change lives.

Get ready, everyone! The 16th Annual Matthew's Wish Parade of Toys is coming, and we couldn't be more excited!

❤️ It all started with one boy and one incredible wish...

Matthew dreamed of filling an 18-wheeler with toys and surprising the children at the hospital. Today, 16 years later, his wish continues to bring smiles, laughter, and holiday magic to children and families who need it most! 🩵

Thanks to our incredible community, Matthew's Wish proudly supports Cohen Children's Medical Center and provides toys for the Stony Brook Children's Oncology Department's holiday party.

And we're ready to do it all again! 🎅🎁
