You can make your holiday donation of any amount in honor of one of these special wishes:
Andy wishes to go on a Caribbean cruise
14-year-old Andy has End Stage Renal Disease and needs to receive a kidney transplant soon. His biggest cheerleader is his mother, Patty, who is always by his side. She hoped to be able to donate one of her kidneys to Andy, but is not an ideal match…so they wait, patiently and filled with faith and hope.
For Andy, the light at the end of the tunnel is his wish, which is to go on a Caribbean cruise as soon as he recovers from his transplant surgery. He is excited to kayak, scuba dive, and see the crystal clear, blue-green gorgeous water.

Jose wishes to give his school new swings and monkey bars
10-year-old Jose knew right away what he wanted to wish for: to help others instead of getting something just for himself. While in the hospital for treatment for medulloblastoma, Jose asked that new playground equipment be given to his elementary school. Even though Jose is currently home-schooled, he wants something for all the students to enjoy during the school day.
