Jameson- Six Flags passes

Additional information

$175.00 Gift

Jameson has never been to a theme park before, and his wish is simple — a trip to Six Flags with his brother to ride the rides together. A Six Flags pass would give him the chance to create joyful memories and strengthen his sibling bond.

Mariah-Night at a Concert

Additional information

$240.00 Gift

Live music, dancing, singing, and having a night to remember is Mariah’s Little Wish. She’s dreaming of going to an upcoming concert at the Enterprise Center. It’s a chance for her to enjoy a fun, age-appropriate experience, help her feel included in the kinds of activities her friends talk about, and create happy memories that will last for a lifetime.

Milan- Apartment Makeover

Additional information

$235.00 Gift

Milan just moved into her very first apartment, and she’s ready to make it her own! She works hard, and now she’s dreaming of a space that feels like her. The apartment is already nicely furnished, so what she needs is a little personality: pops of hot pink, touches of black, and decor that reflects her style.

Could you be the one to help Milan turn her new place into a home she loves? Sponsor her Little Wish and help her celebrate this big milestone in style!
