💙 Volunteers: The Heart of Our Mission 🌟 Behind every life-changing wish are the women whose strength, compassion, and heart help make the impossible possible. Meet Yessica, Teresa, and Sarah—three inspiring wish granters who bring joy, hope, and life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses across central and south Texas. ✨ Yessica has been granting wishes for more than 20 years and loves being a wishmaker: “Being part of the wish granting journey is not just about granting a dream; it's about touching hearts, creating moments of joy, and reminding us of the power of hope and connection.” ✨ Teresa's journey began when her daughter Aliza’s wish to go to Paris was granted in 2016. Inspired by that life-changing experience, she became a wish granter: “I am grateful to Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas for granting my daughter's wish. I now volunteer to help other children during the wish journey.” ✨ Sarah has granted countless wishes and shares what it means to walk alongside wish kids and their families: “It is a gift to be a part of a family's wish journey. No matter my own challenges, they pale in comparison to a family's fear of losing their child or a child's battle with a critical illness. Through my years as a wish granter, I’ve met the most humble, sweetest, and kindest families—they are all fighters, and I love their spirit!” These women remind us of what it means to lead with heart. 💙 Thank you to Yessica, Teresa, Sarah, and ALL the women whose strength fuels our mission. 🌟 Ready to help grant wishes?
