When Norah's family dreamed about travel, they never imagined a trip beyond an hour from home would be possible.

Living with a nervous system disorder meant navigating mobility challenges and relying on specialized medical equipment. But when Norah's wish to visit Walt Disney World® Resort came true, her WishMakers helped coordinate every detail, including transporting the medical devices she depends on.

At Disney, Norah experienced wheelchair-accessible attractions, colorful parades and sensory-filled adventures designed for every child to enjoy.

"To see her fully recognized in a world that usually isn't so accessible was emotional," said her mom, Tiffany.

This Disability Awareness Month, we're celebrating the power of wishes to create accessible experiences and remind families what's possible.

✨ On National Dream Day, we're reminded that every wish begins with a dream.

For Eero, that dream was becoming a paleontologist. 🦖

Even during three years of intensive chemotherapy, Eero held onto his love of prehistoric creatures. When it came time to choose his wish, he knew exactly what he wanted: an epic dinosaur adventure filled with fossil digs, museum tours, and unforgettable memories.

"It was a beautiful experience to be able to celebrate him and celebrate that he was healthy, in such a great spot together as a family." – Jessica, Eero's mom

Because every wish is a dream come true. 💙✨

In honor of National Live Creative Day, we're looking back at our recent Wish Kid Art Day. 🎨

Wish kids spent the afternoon exploring their creativity, expressing themselves through art, and enjoying time together at the Make-A-Wish office. Moments like these give children the opportunity to simply be kids while creating lasting memories.

A special thank you to our W**e & Wishes Gala Committee, whose support helped make this meaningful day possible for our wish kids. 💙✨

✨ At 17 years old, Bailey's wish to visit Mykonos, Greece, was a celebration of strength, resilience, and family.

After her battle with cancer, Bailey wished for the chance to travel somewhere tropical and create special memories with the people she loves most. Surrounded by the beauty of Greece, she spent her days relaxing and enjoying precious family time after a long journey through treatment.

One of Bailey's favorite parts of the trip was getting dressed up for a special family dinner. It may seem like a simple moment, but for Bailey it was a chance to celebrate how far she had come, feel like a typical teenager, and enjoy an evening filled with laughter and love.

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Bailey's story reminds us how important moments of joy can be for children facing cancer and their families. 💙
