Wish kid Lila is a young chef with a deep love of cooking and a curiosity about her Chinese heritage. For her wish, she traveled to San Francisco’s Chinatown to explore the culture through food alongside a professional chef. 🌉 She spent the day shopping local markets and learning to make dumplings before sitting down to enjoy the meal with her family! 🥟 This Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we’re honoring how wishes like Lila’s help kids explore their heritage and connect more deeply with their passions. 💙 (fb)

✨A night to shine and dress to impress! ✨ Jessie’s wish was a celebration of her perseverance, and a chance to dance the night away with her loved ones. After spending her 16th birthday in the hospital due to her cancer diagnosis, her wish empowered her to reclaim her special day – reuniting with the friends and family she had missed so much. “Seeing everyone there, especially my family, friends, my amazing doctors and my volunteers from Make-A-Wish was truly a blessing to me – [my wish was] the greatest day of my life.” – Jessie 💙 (fb)
