Make-A-Wish Vermont & Northeast New York Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Visit us in one of our wishing space in Shelburne, VT or Saratoga Springs, NY.

Make-A-Wish Vermont & Northeast New York is a nonprofit organization dedicated to granting life-changing wishes to provide hope, strength, and joy throughout the healing process.

This week, we welcomed the crew from to our office for a special check presentation! Their flag football game, featuring local fire and police departments, raised more than $11,000 to support Make-A-Wish Vermont & Northeast New York! 💙

Held in September, this incredible community event brought together 15 wish kids who served as team captains for the day and helped lead their teams to victory! A huge thank you to the wish families, players, and Emily from Best Stuffies and her wonderful family for organizing such a fun and meaningful event. We’re so grateful to everyone who made it possible and proud to be part of a community that makes wishes come true! 🌟🏈

Meet Maddie, a joyful 3-year-old from Albany, NY, whose wish was to travel to Disney to meet her favorite character, Bruno from Encanto! And Maddie had one very important thing to tell him… that he has sweaty hands, just like in the movie!

From hearing her name announced as she boarded the plane to Orlando, to meeting her favorite characters, Maddie’s wish trip was filled with unforgettable moments. At Give Kids The World Village, she loved the splash pad, glitter tattoos, carousel, and meeting all of the Village characters.

Her mom shared, “We had the most amazing time seeing our girl running around and having the absolute time of her life after everything she’s gone through this past year.”

We are so grateful we could help make Maddie’s wish come true. 💙
