Making Hopes and Dreams
Come True
I believe in living generously – giving to organizations that make a difference in my community. Each of the non-profits listed below has a direct impact on people, children, and families in Oklahoma. Your donation will go towards enhancing programs, helping people, and fulfilling passionate missions.
Make-A-Wish Oklahoma
Make-A-Wish America finances its work through individual contributions, corporate donations, foundation grants, planned gifts, and chapter fees and assessments. Make-A-Wish relies on in-kind contributions to lessen the cost of goods and services. Local chapters are funded in the same way and also rely on special events and in-kind donations. All local chapter donations stay within the chapter that receives them. So any donation made to Make-A-Wish Oklahoma stays in Oklahoma.
My husband and I have supported Make-A-Wish Oklahoma for over 10 years. We have seen the power of a wish both in our personal lives and in the lives of the families we have worked with through the organization. When your child is battling a life-threatening illness, you are focused on their well-being, appointments, treatments, etc. When the families receive notification of qualifying for a wish it brings new hope. It shifts their perspective, and you see joy in their eyes when the wish is granted. It’s life-changing.
