Thank You From Make-A-Wish South Dakota

December 21, 2017

Dear Car Donation Foundation,

The transformative effect of a wish come true goes far beyond the child who receives it. A wish can change the lives of every person who witnesses its power—parents, siblings, friends, volunteers and supporters, like you.

Thank you for the donation of $332.73 for a Wheels For Wishes program. Your gift helps us toward our vision of making every eligible child’s wish to come true.

The past fiscal year, which ended in August, we granted 72 wishes to kids facing critical illnesses throughout South Dakota. Today the average wish costs around $7,200. We have more than 70 kids statewide that we are currently working with a will receive wishes in the coming months.

Wish mom Lori had this to say about the experience for her son Ellis, 16, who went to Atlantis in the Bahamas this past summer: “We didn’t know how tired, overwhelmed and wounded we were until we got away, where we could enjoy each other and nature with no worries.”

Again, thank you.

Sincerely,

Paul R. Krueger

President and CEO
