About us
Since 1980, Make-A-Wish has granted hundreds of thousands of transformative wish experiences worldwide. Our organization’s vision is to grant the heartfelt wish of every eligible child battling critical illness. Here across North Texas, we are working to make this a reality in the 161 counties we serve. Wishes are catalysts for hope -- profoundly effective in fueling a child’s drive to defy the odds and push toward tomorrow. Medical research reveals physical and emotional benefits that can give children with critical illnesses a higher chance of survival. When a wish is granted, a child replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy and anxiety with hope. Families are unified and entire communities are enriched -- the positive impact is boundless. Right now, wishes are waiting! Across our chapter, referrals are at an all-time high and funding determines the rate at which we are able to grant wishes. Your gift of time or money is crucial to close the gap between the number of wishes Make-A-Wish is able to grant and the number we need to grant. It is because of generous donors, dedicated volunteers and valuable partners in the medical community that each wish becomes a reality. Every eligible child needs a wish to count on!

Breelyn is a vibrant 10-year-old who adores turquoise, cookie cake, and Texas Tech. When she’s not cruising on her bike, you’ll find her dreaming of sunny days in Hawaii. Thanks to the @texastechchio for throwing her an unforgettable wish send off! Inspired by other children with a respiratory disorder who found joy in surfing, Breelyn was determined to ride the waves herself. Her trip was a success as she experienced the thrill of surfing and the enchantment of a traditional luau — creating lasting memories, away from treatments, for her and her family. Join us in making dreams come true by visiting the link in our bio.
