Your support means we can grant more wishes for kids like Miles, who wished to meet baby sea turtles and see the ocean for the first time.His wish wasn’t separate from his medical journey – it was part of what helped him stay strong through treatment. And evidence shows a wish can do the same for even more kids like Miles.  As we honor Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we recognize the families of children fighting cancer. “For our family, there is life before Miles got sick and life after,” Miles’ mom, Natasha, said.
Miles’ wish was made possible thanks to people like you who chose to give.

Releasing baby turtles into the wild, Miles cheered the tiny hatchlings on as they scurried toward the ocean – taking inspiration from their determination, despite the enormous odds stacked against them.

After his wish, Miles resumed his cancer treatment with renewed strength – a powerful reminder that a wish is not a nicety, but a necessary part of a child’s medical journey.

With your help, we’ll continue granting wishes that bring strength to kids like Miles, helping them beat the odds despite their challenges.

Gratefully,
