Juneteenth reminds us to honor freedom, hope and possibility. That spirit feels especially meaningful alongside World Sickle Cell Day and Elijah’s story of creativity, strength and imagining what comes next.

Wish kid Elijah finds strength through creativity. 🎨 Living with a blood disorder, his wish to have animation equipment has helped him imagine what’s possible for his future as he brings his ideas to life. 💫💻

“[My wish] makes me feel stronger, smarter and happier.” – Elijah 💙

When our community comes together, wishes come true! Every cup of lemonade helps create life-changing moments for wish kids. ⭐️💙

The sooner a wish is granted, the sooner a child can replace fear and uncertainty with hope and possibility. 💫

Nine out of 10 of wish alumni say that they felt more joyful, confident and hopeful for their future after their wish. 💙

You can provide that everlasting hope and joy for a child who needs it most. Help make wishes come true this summer and beyond!

What if, for just one moment, there were no hospital rooms, just sunshine and dolphins? 💙

Lola’s wish to swim with dolphins was more than magical... it was a break from scans, doctors, and her brain tumor diagnosis.

This , we’re honoring children like Lola, whose journeys are filled with courage and moments of joy that remind them they’re so much more than their diagnosis.
Before her trip, her parents got to say something she hadn’t heard in a long time: “No doctors… just fun.” 🐬 For her family, the wish meant time to heal, reconnect, and simply be together.

Cesar is 16 and facing lymphoma... but his wish was all about moving forward.🚲✨
He wished for a purple Super73 e-bike, choosing purple specifically to represent cancer awareness with every ride. 💜
Today on , we celebrate where his courage can take him.

When Asher was diagnosed with cancer, his life became filled with hospital stays, treatments and missed moments at home with his two brothers. But through it all, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse brought him comfort during his toughest days. So, when it came time to choose his wish, Asher knew exactly what he wanted: to give Mickey Mouse a big hug. 🤗

Asher’s wish was more than just a joyful moment, it was a turning point in his medical journey.

"A wish is like the light at the end of the tunnel. It clears the fog and the exit becomes clear.” – Ing, wish mom 💙

Today, Asher is done with treatment and has graduated from preschool! 🌟🎓 Congratulations to Asher and to all our graduates this year!

Thank you, Disney for helping bring joy to wish kids like Asher. ☺️
