When Kailayla imagined her future, traveling the world felt uncertain.

Living with a heart condition had changed the way she thought about her health, adulthood and what might be possible.

Then, her wish to go to Switzerland gave her something powerful: a glimpse of the future she still dreamed about.

Surrounded by the breathtaking Alps and exploring alongside her family, Kailayla found herself thinking less about her diagnosis and more about the moment in front of her.

“I left Switzerland with more than memories; I left with hope and the belief that traveling the world can be part of my future.”

For Kailayla, a wish became a reminder that her illness does not have to define her life or limit her dreams.

For Tanner & Katie Gates, giving through their donor-advised fund has become a family mission. 💙

“We support Make-A-Wish because we believe in the cause. The hope that a wish brings can impact kids and families not just for a day or a week, but for their entire lives.”

With kids waiting for their wishes to come true, their family is choosing to put their DAF dollars to work today, creating hope for wish kids while showing the next generation what it means to leave the world better than they found it.

This DAF Day, your donor-advised fund can do the same. Recommend a grant to Make-A-Wish and help create life-changing wishes for local children facing critical illnesses. ✨

October is National Critical Illness Awareness Month. 💙

For children facing a critical illness, childhood can quickly become filled with treatments, hospital stays and uncertainty. But a wish gives kids something powerful to look forward to: a chance to wish beyond their diagnosis and experience the hope and joy of simply being a kid.

This month, we recognize the incredible strength of wish kids and families across South Dakota and Montana and the communities that help make their wishes possible. ⭐

Together, we can transform lives, one wish at a time.

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month reminds us just how powerful hope can be. Nearly 50% of the wishes granted by Make-A-Wish South Dakota & Montana in FY26 were for children whose cancer diagnosis qualified them for a wish.

For wish kid Liam, that diagnosis brought challenges no child should have to face. In the midst of treatments, uncertainty, and difficult days, his wish gave him something positive to focus on: a chance to experience joy, create lasting memories, and simply be a kid again.
A wish is more than a moment. It provides hope, strength, and renewed resilience for children and families navigating some of life's toughest circumstances.

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we celebrate Liam and the many courageous children like him who remind us of the power of hope and the lasting impact of a wish come true. 💛🎗️
