☀️ Beau’s summer just got a whole lot more fun!

At just 3 years old, Beau has already been through more than most people can imagine. Since being diagnosed with cancer at age 1, he has undergone chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery, stem cell transplants and radiation.

Now, his wish for a custom playset is officially a reality. ✨

Beau loves being outside, especially swinging, playing and climbing, and his new playset brings those favorite things right home. Complete with a rock wall, swings and plenty of space to play, he and his siblings are already having the time of their lives. 🛝

Summer may be winding down, but there’s still time to help make more wishes come true for kids like Beau. You can give more kids the chance to make summer memories, have fun and simply be kids. Help grant a summer wish today: https://bit.ly/4wHtm8Q💙

Maurice’s wish takes flight! ✈️

Born with a blood disorder, Maurice has spent much of his life in treatment, but he never stopped dreaming of becoming a pilot.

With the help of his community, that wish took off. Maurice toured a jumbo jet, met real pilots, suited up in his own uniform and trained in a professional flight simulator.

His wish gave him something powerful: freedom, joy and hope for brighter days ahead. 💙

This National Aviation Day, we’re grateful for the incredible support of Allegiant, Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Southwest Airlines and United. Their generosity helps wishes take flight every day.

Your airline miles and points can help wishes take flight. Donate today at wish.org/travel

“A wish trip lets children be free and their families just have a breath of fresh air and reunite.” — Dr. Namrata Jain, Make-A-Wish Medical Partner 💙

Sometimes, getting away can mean so much more than going somewhere new. A wish trip can give a child the freedom to experience something they love, while giving their family the chance to share in that joy together, reconnect and make memories that last a lifetime.

This Travel Month, you can help make more wish trips possible for children and families. Find out how at wish.org/travel ✈️

Some kids dream of flying. Kashmere dreamed of getting a closer look. ✈️

An aspiring airline engineer with a love for plane spotting, Kashmere had one very specific wish: to tour an Airbus A380.

From sitting in the captain's seat to exploring the cockpit and stepping inside one of the world's largest passenger planes, Kashmere got an up-close look at the aircraft that had captured his imagination for so long.

It was more than a tour. It was a chance to fuel a passion, spark new possibilities and remind Kashmere that the sky is full of opportunity.

More than 80% of wishes require travel, and airline miles and points help make wish journeys like Kashmere's possible. This Travel Month, consider donating your unused miles or points to help more children reach the moments that matter most. Learn how: https://bit.ly/4hluATe ✈️💙

At just 6 months old, wish alum Olivia was diagnosed with an enlarged heart. After four months in the hospital, she was finally discharged just before her first birthday – and later that fall, she received a life-saving heart transplant.

After hearing her cardiologist share stories from a recent safari, Olivia knew she wanted to one day see elephants in the wild. Her wish gave her something exciting to look forward to, and once she regained her strength, she took off on her African safari adventure. 🐘

“When that first elephant came up … she lit up. I was just really overcome with joy to see her in that moment. She was not afraid; she was in awe. I don’t think I will ever forget the beauty of that moment and seeing her wish come true, for her to just come alive. It was energizing and transformative.” – Schonay, Olivia’s mom 💙

This year marks nearly 21 years since her heart transplant, and her mom says her wish continues to give her the courage to face what’s ahead. “Olivia can always look back and say, ‘If I walked an elephant around, I can do this next procedure.’”
