"After 2 years of constant travel between the hospital and home, we finally had the chance to relax and enjoy some wonderful moments together." 💙 A wish renews hope, uplifts spirits and encourages the belief in the impossible - for the child and family. Creating special memories during a difficult time is a key part of the wish journey, helping bring families together. With your support, we'll continue to create life-changing wish experiences for children with critical illnesses. #wish #wishes #makeawish #wishcometrue

About us
Make-A-Wish® Eastern North Carolina creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We seek to bring every eligible child's wish to life because a wish is an integral part of a child's treatment journey. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. Headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, Make-A-Wish Eastern North Carolina, serves all medically eligible children who reside in the 49 counties east of the Orange/Alamance county line. Together, generous donors, supporters, staff and more than 350 volunteers across eastern North Carolina, grant a wish more than every other day, on average, across its region. Make-A-Wish Eastern North Carolina has granted more than 3,600 wishes; more than 1,000 in the last five years alone. Today we have nearly 300 children waiting for their wish and the resources to bring these wishes to reality are limited. The need for funding is more urgent than ever. For more information about Make-A-Wish Eastern North Carolina and how you can share the power of a wish, please visit eastnc.wish.org.
