Today, we pause with grateful hearts to remember the brave men and women who gave everything for our country. Because of their courage, children can dream bigger, families can feel hope, and communities like ours can continue to share joy. We will never forget.

Today, we celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day 💙

At Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia, we believe every child deserves the chance to experience joy, and that starts with ensuring every wish journey is accessible, inclusive, and welcoming for all the children and families we serve.

Globally, more than one billion people live with disabilities, and barriers can limit access to experiences that should be available to everyone. That’s why accessibility matters. It’s about creating moments where every child can fully participate, be seen, and feel their wish come to life without limitations.

Today reminds us to keep listening, learning, and taking action so that no wish is out of reach. Because when we remove barriers, we open the door to joy, hope, and life-changing experiences.

Join us in building a more inclusive world, one wish at a time.

🌟 Happy International Nurses Day! 🌟 Today, we honor the incredible compassion and dedication nurses show to wish kids and their families. Meet Tanicia Edmond, RN, Neuromuscular Clinic Nurse Coordinator at Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters.

Tanicia shares:
“Being connected to Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia has been incredibly meaningful to me as a nurse caring for patients with neuromuscular conditions. These families carry so much on a daily basis, so being able to help bring moments of joy, hope, and normalcy through wish experiences is truly one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.”

Thank you, Tanicia, and all nurses, for being heroes who help transform lives—one wish at a time. 💙
