Thank You From Make-A-Wish San Diego

January 31, 2019

Dear Car Donation Foundation,

At Make-A-Wish® Foundation of San Diego, we have an ambitious vision—to grant the wish of every eligible child, because we know when a wish is granted a child replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy, and anxiety with hope. This is why I would like to personally thank you for your generous gift of $20,186.54 on 1/22/2019. There are few experiences more powerful than making a wish come true.

But what if a wish could improve the health of a child fighting a critical illness? In a first-of-its-kind study, Nationwide Children’s Hospital found that patients who were granted a wish were more likely to have fewer emergency department visits and shorter hospital stays. Wishes can give kids the strength they need to fight harder. For children who are battling a critical illness, a wish can give them and their families a chance to believe that anything is possible.

I invite you to see the powerful impact that wish have a children and families. Please consider joining me on April 6,2019 for our annual Walk For Wishes® at the Embarcadero Marine Park South. It is free to register as an individual or a team and you can also fundraise to make an even greater impact on the lives of children in our community.

Again, thank you for helping us create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

Sincerely,

Chris Sichel

President & CEO
