Make-A-Wish Utah Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

Research shows that wishes have the possibility to give kids the hope and strength they need to fight harder.

At 17 years old, Kayli has faced more challenges than most, but this year she got to experience the magic she had been dreaming about: a wish trip to Walt Disney World! ✨

From thrilling rides like Hagrid’s Motorbike and enjoying four butter beers with her family at Harry Potter World to meeting beloved characters, Kayli embraced every second of her adventure. The trip gave her a chance to relax, laugh, and simply be a teenager while making memories that will last a lifetime. Her family said she brought home a pep in her step and a determination to keep fighting with hope. 🪄

Thank you to our generous partner, Breeze Airways, for helping wishes for Utah kids take flight! 💙

Alex's wish took him to a galaxy far, far away. ⭐

Recently, 17-year-old Alex was honored at his star raising, celebrating a wish journey that brought excitement and unforgettable memories for Alex and his family.

Earlier this year, Alex's wish took him to Los Angeles for the Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu premiere, where he watched the red carpet arrivals, met Pedro Pascal, and experienced what he described as one of the best days of his life. From meeting the cast and crew to receiving a special challenge coin from director Jon Favreau, every moment reminded Alex just how special he is. 🎬

The red carpet may be behind him, but the memories, confidence, and joy of his wish remain.

Thank you to Disney and everyone who helped make Alex's wish come true. 💙

At the first-of-its-kind Wishes Assemble event at Disneyland Resort, nearly 40 wish kids, including Utah wish kid Coen, experienced their Super Hero and creator wishes—bringing the life‑changing power of a wish to life. ✨

We were proud to join Make-A-Wish America in celebrating Disney Week of Wishes as part of World Wish Month in April. Coen didn't just meet Anthony Mackie He made memories alongside him. He rode a rollercoaster with him, stepped on stage by his side, and brought home a signed Captain America shield. Then, each new connection at meet-and-greets showed Coen that he was a hero, too. 💙💪

After facing a brain tumor and countless hospital stays at just nine years old, Coen got to spend every moment doing what kids do best: making memories.

Lilly's suitcase came home a little fuller than when she left. 🌺

After years of saving for souvenirs, the 15-year-old made sure there was something inside for family, friends, and herself after her wish trip to Hawaiʻi. Between snorkeling alongside sea turtles, visiting the local swap meet, walking far into the clear waters of Waikiki Beach, trying spicy fried crab, and relaxing on a sunset cruise with loved ones, Lilly filled her wish with moments she'll never forget. 🌊

More than a vacation, this wish gave Lilly the chance to just be a teenager again and memories her family will cherish for years to come. 💙

Jernee had dreamed of getting her own wand. Turns out, she left with two. ✨

At 11 years old, Jernee's wish to visit Epic Universe gave her the chance to step outside her comfort zone, experience the iconic Harry Potter sights she'd always imagined, and enjoy plenty of butterbeer along the way. 🍺

From exploring the Ministry of Magic and seeing Hogwarts Castle to riding rides in between, the trip was so magical that even Jernee's dad, who had never read or watched Harry Potter before, came home a fan. ⚡️

Because of supporters like you, families get to watch their wish kids experience moments they've been waiting for. Join us in granting more wishes: https://wish.org/utah. 💙

Fifteen-year-old Dmitri always felt connected to Greece. With a name rooted in Greek history, every part of visiting the country felt personal. 🌊

A catamaran ride along the Greek coast. Bracelets picked out in a local shop. Meeting people who shared his name. What started as a wish became a deeply personal experience that brought strength, hope, and joyful time with family when it mattered most during his lymphoma journey. ☀️

At 12 years old, Ivan spent his wish day thinking about everyone else. 🎁

While filling bags with clothes and favorite finds for himself, Ivan made sure his sisters and mom were also a part of every choice, picking out gifts he knew would make them smile.

Through everything this family has faced together, the day became more than a shopping spree. It was a chance to connect through joy, with each gift serving as a reminder of how much they mean to one another. ✨

Every wish is made possible by a caring community. To help grant wishes like Ivan's, visit our website: https://wish.org/utah. 💙

⚾💙 Talk about showing up and showing out!

On Saturday, the entire A Plus Garage Doors team came out to the Salt Lake Bees game to help surprise Wish Kid Aidan with the news that his wish had been granted!

The cheers were loud, the smiles were huge, and the excitement was impossible to miss. Moments like these remind us that a wish is more than a single experience. It's a community coming together to tell a child facing a critical illness, "You matter. You are loved. And we're cheering for you."

A huge thank you to A Plus Garage Doors for bringing the energy, the heart, and the fun as we celebrated Aidan's wish journey. We couldn't do it without incredible partners like you!

Kadyn's wish to visit Epic Universe was filled with unforgettable firsts. 🎉

Living with a nervous system disorder at 17, Kadyn bravely rode his first roller coaster, met Toothless, and even joked that he'd like Astrid to be his girlfriend after meeting her. 🐉

For Kadyn and his family, the trip was more than the adventure they had imagined. It was a chance to feel constant joy together and continue finding hope and healing along the way. 🌟

With energy only a ten-year-old can bring, Oliver raced over and over again with a controller in hand and the biggest grin. 🏁

A brand new Switch 2, hours of Mario Kart, and then stepping outside into his very own go-kart added to his shopping spree wish to turn his new game into something real, wind in his face with every turn.

Oliver and his family enjoyed a Happy Sumo night, with sushi stacked high and laughter in between bites. 🍣

💙 Because of supporters like you, wishes give kids like Oliver space to feel free and become the moments families can return to, no matter what. Learn more about granting a wish here: https://ow.ly/747650Zs4gh.
