Make-A-Wish brings back holiday tradition: the Holiday Wish Line

AUGUSTA, Ga. - Make-A-Wish is bringing back its holiday tradition: the Holiday Wish Line.

Until Dec. 31, anyone can call to listen to uplifting, pre-recorded messages from six wish kids who have faced critical illnesses with courage and joy.

Organizers said this effort is part of the Make-A-Wish “Wishful Giving” campaign.

Featured Wish Kids:

• Angelito, age 5, courageously battling leukemia, whose heartfelt wish for a charro-themed celebration came to life with music, gifts, and horses.
• Levi, age 7, undergoing cancer treatment, who reunited with his siblings during a memorable ski trip in the mountains of Colorado.
• Ruby, age 5, a liver transplant recipient, who fulfilled her wish of publishing a children’s book to inspire courage in others.
• Braedyn, age 8, living with leukemia, who rediscovered joy and freedom through the simple magic of ice skating.
• Vera, age 9, living with a respiratory disorder, who received a custom baking station to pursue her aspiration of owning a bakery.
• Quinn, age 7, facing leukemia, who experienced the excitement of New York City from a limousine and savored a giant pizza along the way.

According to Make-A-Wish, proceeds raised through the holiday season will allow more wish kids like Angelito, Braedyn, Levi, Quinn, Ruby, and Vera to experience the impact of a wish.

Dial 480-914-9474 (WISH) to hear the kids’ messages.
