Little Wishes, Big Impact

Little Wishes gives children impacted by foster care opportunities that spark joy and build confidence. A Little Wish could be a week at camp, a soccer ball, art supplies, music lessons, or a new bike.

Give kids the chance to explore, play, and dream.

These experiences help kids explore their interests, develop skills, and simply enjoy being a kid. Last year, the generosity of our community made 4,593 wishes come true. Together, we can create thousands more moments of laughter, learning, and belonging.

Milayah entered foster care just a few months ago, and her foster parent’s greatest hope is to make her bedroom a warm, welcoming space she can truly call her own. Together, they’ve chosen a beautiful butterfly comforter, uplifting wall affirmations, a galaxy projector, and more to make her smile. Your support can help turn her new room into a place of comfort and joy.

Help a child’s wish come true today.
