Make-A-Wish Foundation of Mississippi

Adopt-A-Wish®

Wish Adoption Form

Hundreds of Mississippi’s children bravely battle life-threatening medical conditions. Not only must they endure painful medical tests, wheelchairs, chemotherapy and other treatments, but their illness robs them of their most precious possession — their innocence. They have lost so much and paid such an enormous price.

All of this makes the magic we create all the more important. The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Mississippi has a unique purpose. We listen to the quiet whispers and dreams of these special children and then we make their wishes come true.

Fear and fatigue are pushed aside by excitement that bubbles out in giggles and shy smiles. We replace riding in wheelchairs with traveling in stretch limousines. And doctor’s visits give way to a command performance by Mickey Mouse. Whatever their minds can conceive and their hearts can dream.

But we can’t make that kind of magic happen without help. The Adopt-A-Wish® program allows groups, individuals, clubs or companies to contribute to the mission of Make-A-Wish. You can choose a specific kind of wish that you’d like to adopt or leave the match to us, based on your contribution level.

Won’t you join us in granting the wishes of these amazing children? You will touch their lives in ways you cannot imagine. And they will do the same for you.

Please print and complete our Adopt-A-Wish form and send it to us today to help make wishes come true!
