During one of the most difficult chapters of her life, Lupita held onto a simple wish: to meet her grandmother. 👩🏽‍👧🏽

After facing cancer twice and enduring countless treatments, hospital visits and a bone marrow transplant, Lupita's wish reconnected her to her family’s heritage. When her wish was granted, she and her family traveled to Mexico, where her grandmother, uncles and cousins welcomed her with traditional food, a piñata and open arms.

"I wanted to know if they were real. Going on a trip is wonderful, but getting the chance to meet my family meant everything," Lupita said.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we're celebrating the importance of family, culture and the connections that help children find hope during difficult times. ❤️

For some families, college is a tradition that spans generations. For 17-year-old Delaney's family, where you go to school is fundamental to the person you grow up to be, and for as long as Delaney can remember— she's dreamed of going to Penn State just like her parents and her big brother. 💙🤍

Fighting leukemia while heading into her senior year was never part of Delaney's plan, but she's shown incredible resilience and kept her eyes on her goals. Her and her family love going to Penn State football games, and for her wish, she wanted to live out her dream of being on the field for the school's very special annual White Out Game. 🏈🏟️

The Penn State Athletic Program (Penn State Nittany Lions) was so kind and welcoming to Delaney and her family, surprising them with lots of gifts, a tour of the facilities and VIP access to gameday activities. Thank you to Head Coach Matt Campbell, for having a wonderful talk with Delaney, to Southern Spray, for donating some amazing box seat tickets and to Make-A-Wish Philadelphia, Delaware and Susquehanna Valley for the opportunity to assist with Delaney's wish in Happy Valley. 💫

When Pharoah imagined his wish, he didn't ask for a faraway adventure.

He wished for something closer to home. 🏡

After years of hospital visits, surgeries and uncertainty, he wanted a place where he could play with his friends and family again.

Today, his custom backyard playground is filled with laughter, games and family memories.

"Now we have a way to create these bonds and memories that don't involve anything medical." 💙✨

This family stepped up to the plate for wishes yet again! 🥎⭐

The Kreutzer Family, made up of wish alum Jaden Henry, Gary, Jessica, Kalina and Kariel Kreutzer, held their 14th Annual Wishes Do Come True One Pitch Coed Softball Tournament in July 2026.

They recently presented our Director of Development Stephanie Pugliese with a check for $7,795 from this year's tournament. Due to their efforts, more than $83,000 has been raised over the years to help make wishes come true. 🙌🏼

Thank you to the Kreutzer family and to everyone who made this year's tournament a success! 💙

We were so excited to grant Trey's wish to see volcanoes in Hawaii! 🌋✈️

Trey is one of many kids whose wish requires travel – in fact, more than 75% of wishes involve some form of travel. Chase has partnered with Make-A-Wish since 2024 to help create incredible memories for children and their families – donating $7 million worth of Ultimate Rewards® points to more than 1,000 wish trips to date to fuel the travel of wish kids and their families.

Thank you to Chase and Make-A-Wish Hawaii for helping us make Trey's wish come true. 🩵

For Corbett, the greatest challenge wasn't understanding others. It was helping others understand him.

Because Corbett is non-speaking, he struggled to communicate with friends and family and often felt misunderstood. When asked what he wished for most, his answer was simple: he wanted the people he loved to understand him. 💙

To grant his wish, “Camp Corbett” was created to help family and friends learn how to communicate with him using assistive technology and his unique communication style.

"I felt loved because my friends and family learned to talk with me."

This World Mental Health Day, we're celebrating the power of connection, belonging and being truly seen and heard.

When Norah's family dreamed about travel, they never imagined a trip beyond an hour from home would be possible. 💭

Living with a nervous system disorder meant navigating mobility challenges and relying on specialized medical equipment. But when Norah's wish to visit Walt Disney World® Resort came true, her WishMakers helped coordinate every detail, including transporting the medical devices she depends on.

At Disney, Norah experienced wheelchair-accessible attractions, colorful parades and sensory-filled adventures designed for every child to enjoy.

"To see her fully recognized in a world that usually isn't so accessible was emotional," said her mom, Tiffany.

This Disability Awareness Month, we're celebrating the power of wishes to create accessible experiences and remind families what's possible. 💙

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is almost over, but many kids like Clementine are still waiting for their wish-come-true. ⏰💛

No child should have to deal with the anxiety that a cancer diagnosis brings. When you donate to Make-A-Wish, you are helping to give wish kids and their families a break from the anxiety and fear. A wish empowers children and gives them hope for the future.

In these last few hours of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, please consider donating to help us restore hope for children across our chapter who are fighting cancer: wish.org/greaterpawv/ccam

Micah has always loved movies and the way they immerse him in different worlds. But they became even more important when he was diagnosed with lymphoma last spring.

“When I was diagnosed with cancer, one of the ways, you know, I got through that was just watching movies with my family... That was something we all did together and we've always loved doing," said Micah.

Micah's wish for a home theater gave him a space to enjoy his favorite hobby with the people he loves, making new memories that shine brighter than those of his time in treatment. 📽️🍿

🎗️ Your gift in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month can help us grant more life-changing wishes like Micah's— donate before midnight: wish.org/greaterpawv/ccam
