May Charity of the Month - Make A Wish Foundation

www.wish.org

The Make A Wish Foundation is May's Charity of the Month.  Since 1980, this organization has given hope, strength, and joy to sick kids.  The Make A Wish Foundation all started with one seven year old's life long dream of being a police office, and one caring US Customs Officer who could not let that dream go. 

Christopher, age 7

Today the Make A Wish Foundation has a network of more than 25,000 volunteers dedicated to bringing a smile to the face of sick kids!  To date they have been able to grant the wishes of nearly 250,000 kids around the world.  All from that first wish, and the first person who simply wanted to help!


There are plenty of options available to help support this worthwhile cause - from donating items or airline miles to adopting a wish.


Each month I will donate $1 for the first 50 new followers to my blog to the current Charity of the Month.  You can follow in any way that you choose, simply pick an optionIf you already follow one way, feel free to add another:




Together we can make a difference in the life of an ill child and their loved ones.






P.S.  I'm guest posting at My Three Bittles today.  Its all about keeping more joy in your life!

  2. HUM Holly,

    I thought I posted here a few days ago.

    I must be nuts.

    I subscribed to all your icons up there - so I must be crazy. I must have subscribed but not commented?

    Anyway, it's a great thing you are doing! What a lesson you are teaching your little on!

    good for you!
