The Make-A-Wish program grants the wish of a child that is diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition in the United States and its territories. The program strives to help those struggling and suffering and they want to change the lives of the kids they serve! It truly is a beautiful thing!
Each year the Make-A-Wish in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana provide approximately 3,500 airline tickets (that’s the equivalent of 180 million airline miles) to help local children and their families reach incredible travel destinations. (It’s all about putting a smile on the face of a child). More than 75% of the wishes made require air travel, which can be rather costly. But, you can help!
How Can I Help Make-A-Wish Grant Wishes?
They have set a goal to raise 2 million airline miles through this year’s Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana Air Miles Drive, in addition to monetary donations (so, if you don’t have air miles to donate, you can still help by making a small monetary donations—Putting a smile on the face of a child is priceless).
