Our vision is to grant every eligible child's wish, but we can't do it without your help! There are three main components to Wish It Forward; raise funds to make wishes a reality, expand our reach to increase referrals of eligible children in our community and share the power of a wish by becoming a wish ambassador or sharing your story by submitting a testimony.
By joining the Wish It Forward movement, you ensure the fulfillment of our mission. The wish experience improves the quality of life for the child, their entire family and the community as a whole.
Make-A-Wish Southwestern Ontario invites YOU to Wish It Forward:
- As the number of wishes we grant increases, so does the need for critical funding. Wish It Forward provides a way for people of all ages to take part in the wish granting process by raising funds to make wishes a reality by:
- creating a personal online fundraising page
- hosting a fundraising event
- supporting an upcoming event in your community
- Introduce us to your child's medical team or parent support groups. E-mail misha.johnston@makeawish.ca to learn more about how you can help us reach our goal of bringing every eligible child's wish to life.
- Do you know a child who is living with a critical illness? They may be eligible for a wish. Please pass along our information to the family and encourage them to visit and fill out the Refer A Child form. For more information about wish eligibility and how we protect the privacy of our wish families, plesae visit Refer A Child.
- There is nothing more powerful than your words, pictures, stories and quotes to ignite support. Submit a testimonial of your life-changing wish experience by e-mailing brittany.kinchen@makeawish.ca.
- Wishes are only made possible by telling the Make-A-Wish story, your story. Become an ambassador for the chapter, helping to raise awareness and garner community support for our mission. E-mail brittany.kinchen@makeawish.ca for more information.
