🌟 MAY RECAP 🌟
In May, 39 children across New Jersey experienced the life-changing power of a wish—bringing hope, strength, and joy when it’s needed most. Some of those wishes included trips to destinations like Paris and Japan, a camper and a pool!

Additionally, our volunteers spent more than 350 hours of their time dedicated to our mission- thank you! 💙

🌟 WISH GRANTED 🌟
When asked what he wished for, Alain knew he wanted to have his very own barbershop right in his room! ✂️✨
Now, he has a space where he can express his creativity and enjoy doing what he loves most — all from the comfort of home. From the chair to the clippers, every detail was designed just for him, turning his wish into a reality💙

🌟 WISH KID WEDNESDAY 🌟
Meet Avery—she adores princesses and dressing up. When we asked her what she wished for most, she knew what she wanted: a trip to Walt Disney World to get dressed up and meet her favorite princesses in person! Avery had a princess filled adventure—full of smiles and hugs 👑 🏰

Her mom shared how Avery’s wish gave their family a much-needed break from doctor visits and quality time together—something they will cherish forever💙

🌟 WISH GRANTED 🌟
Harrison’s wish took him full speed ahead to the F1 race in Miami — where he experienced the thrill of the track and even got to meet his favorite driver, Lando Norris! 🏎️✨

Moments like these remind us that wishes can take kids beyond their challenges and into unforgettable experiences filled with joy, excitement and hope.

Thank you to Cars and Social and McLaren North Jersey whose generosity made Harrison’s wish possible with some surprises along the way! Because of you, his wish became a reality — and a memory Harrison will carry with him forever 💙

Meet James 🌟 When James was going through treatment, his wish gave him something every child deserves: hope, joy, and the chance to just be a kid.

Through Make-A-Wish New Jersey, James had an unforgettable opportunity to meet the New York Giants — a day he describes as the "Best day ever!"🏈

One of his favorite moments from his wish day was singing the national anthem with Saquon Barkley: "The whole thing was something I'll never forget. Let's go Giants!"

For James and his family, the wish was more than a special day. It gave them something joyful to hold onto during treatment and showed the Krystalla family firsthand how powerful a wish can be, not just for a child, but for everyone who loves them. It also inspired them to find a way to pay that gift forward.

In honor of James and his journey, the family created The James Krystalla Foundation, with a mission to support organizations that bring comfort, joy, and meaningful resources to children and families facing difficult circumstances.

This year, the Foundation is proud to host its second annual golf outing in a few weeks⛳️, with all proceeds benefiting Make-A-Wish New Jersey. Through this event, the Krystalla family hopes to pay James’s wish forward, helping more children experience the joy, hope, and unforgettable memories that a wish can bring.💙
