✨ 40 Cars for 40 Years ✨

Do you have a car sitting in the driveway that you rarely drive? An extra vehicle you've been meaning to sell? A clunker that's been collecting dust in your garage?
Donating it to Make-A-Wish Connecticut could change a child's life — literally.

Wishes aren't just magical moments. Research shows they strengthen children emotionally and physically — giving them the resilience and hope they need to fight harder.

Jackson’s wish to have a train room was inspired by time spent with his dad searching for locomotives during long hospital stays. 🚂

“He was so excited to be able to finally have a place where he can really enjoy his train. [Make-A-Wish] made such a difference in the sense that it takes our minds off of the day-to-day challenges that we experience, and it helps to bring more joy into our lives.” – Keith, Jackson’s dad

Today, Keith continues to Wish It Forward by donating photography services to Make-A-Wish Connecticut so other families can forever cherish their wish experience. 📷

Happy Father’s Day to all the wish dads and father figures who help create joyful memories that last a lifetime. 💙

Subaru Saturday Spotlight
Share the Love- Subaru is not just selling cars they are delivering hope and joy to children with critical illnesses. Thank you, Subaru.

Thanks to the incredible team at Quality Subaru, 12-year-old Alexander was celebrated in unforgettable style before his wish trip to Hawaii! From a red carpet welcome to becoming an honorary Quality Subaru employee, every detail made him feel extra special and surrounded by joy.

Alexander can’t wait to see a real volcano, ride in a helicopter, attend a luau, and learn to hula with his family by his side. 💙

Thank you, Quality Subaru, for helping make wishes like Alexander’s possible and for showing what it means to bring hope, joy, and brighter days to local children facing critical illnesses.

Your vehicle donation makes smiles like these possible.

Every wish we grant starts with someone believing — in a child, in the power of joy, in Connecticut. Vehicle donations help us say yes to more wish kids every year. Who will you say yes to?

Juneteenth reminds us to honor freedom, hope and possibility. That spirit feels especially meaningful alongside World Sickle Cell Day and Elijah’s story of creativity, strength and imagining what comes next.

Wish kid Elijah finds strength through creativity. 🎨 Living with a blood disorder, his wish to have animation equipment has helped him imagine what’s possible for his future as he brings his ideas to life. 💫💻

“[My wish] makes me feel stronger, smarter and happier.” – Elijah 💙

Eyden is all ready for his wish — and his adventure to Rocking Horse Ranch is almost here! 💙

After everything he’s been through, this special trip will give Eyden the chance to simply be a kid — surrounded by animals, water, laughter, and the people he loves most. From the petting zoo to the lazy river, every moment will be filled with joy, celebration, and memories his family will never forget.

Visit ct.wish.org/summer-wishes to help grant more wishes like Eyden's. Every dollar donated to our Summer of Wishes campaign up to $50,000 will be matched.

Subaru Saturday Spotlight
Share the Love- Subaru is not just selling cars they are delivering hope and joy to children with critical illnesses. Thank you, Subaru.

We are so grateful to Bertera Subaru of Hartford and Subaru of New England for hosting an amazing welcome home celebration for wish kid Liam and his family. He was greeted by the Bertera staff and his favorite superhero, Spiderman, all cheering for him upon his arrival. The room was filled with his favorite food - Pizza, and drinks-root beer and cream soda and gummy bears with a cake decorated with all his favorite things including hockey pucks representing his favorite sport. ✨
Thank you to the West Hartford Police Department for showing up and being part of his special day. Smiles were had by all. Thank you, Bertera Subaru, for always believing in our mission and bringing joy and hope to our wish kids. 💫
