Background

When Matt was 9 years old, he was granted a Make-A-Wish - he chose to take a Disney Cruise. This experience left such a lasting impression on him, that as an adult he wanted to give back to the organization that had given him such a memorable trip. In honor of Matt, your gifts can provide an opportunity for other children to receive a Wish, a much-needed respite in the middle of a long medical journey.
