80 families received winter coats yesterday as part of our Special Response Program. As the weather starts to get chilly, we are so grateful to be able to provide these coats for both wish children and their siblings. Thank you to Impact 100 Macomb County for their continued support of this project! Thank you to Children's Hospital of Michigan and Wolverine Harley-Davidson for providing safe and accessible pick up locations.

The Rainbow Connection...it's more than a wish! 🌈❄

Meet Elijah - one of our Wish Models at this year's Celebration of Dreams!

Elijah, 8 years old from White Lake, went on his wish trip to Disney World in April 2025. His family shared that Elijah had a favorite part of each place they visited - "Elijah loved the breakfasts, ice cream, pool, and getting a blue mohawk at Give Kids The World, the penguin ride at Sea World, the Pteronodon ride at Universal, the Avatar rides at Animal Kingdom, 7 Dwarfs Mine Ride at Magic Kingdom, the Millennium Falcon ride at Hollywood Studios, getting face paint there, as well as the experience of building a droid."

We're so excited to see Elijah and all our inspiring Wish Models at Celebration of Dreams on November 22nd! Buy your tickets now: https://trcdreams2026.givesmart.com
