Make-A-Wish Wisconsin

35 stories of hope. 35 stories of joy. 35 stories of life-changing memories. That is what you helped create in October through these amazing wishes. Thank you for what you do to make every wish a reality.

Did you see the story about granting our 9,500th wish yesterday for 15-year-old Marlen who wished to have braces? It was a very special moment for Marlen and her family and a milestone moment for Make-A-Wish Wisconsin. Watch her story at: tmj4.com/news/local-news/cou…

Today, we granted our 9,500th wish to 15-year-old Marlen who wished to have braces. We celebrated with her at Crawford and Wright Orthodontics. Staff, Board & community members came to the celebration, including a coffee cart serving Marlen's Wish Latte, from Maison Espresso Co.

"[Blake's wish to go to @WaltDisneyWorld] was a trip of reflection of what we have been through. It was watching Blake & his sisters be kids and not worry about a thing. The smiles on our kids face were amazing. And of course, Blake loved enjoying the ice cream at @GKTWVillage."

A special message to our @Brewers from wish kids and the Make-A-Wish Wisconsin team. Go Brewers!!

"We were able to just say 'yes' to the kids and what they wanted. Ice cream after breakfast - yes! Mickey Mouse ears from Disney World? Yes! Pictures with Spiderman? Yes! It was such a healing time for the kids and us. No worrying about schedules, and just being together."

This week is National Estate Planning Awareness Week. Help kids like Zayden receive their life changing wishes by planning for the future using a Free service thru our partner FreeWill.com. Create your will at wish.org/wisconsin/nepaw & consider including @MakeAWishWI.

Congratulations @Brewers! We are so proud of you. Here’s to the World Series!

We are so proud of wish alum, Esmeralda who recently received the Legacy Award from the Buena Tierra Run Club. Esmeralda received her wish to go to Hawaii in 2013. She is now a volunteer wish granter and a member of Wishmakers of Wisconsin. Congratulations, Esmeralda!

The Make-A-Wish Wisconsin team was honored to attend the @maccfund's Designed to Inspire event! We loved cheering on so many of our incredible wish kids as they took the runway as “Featured Fighters.” The MACC Fund’s mission is one that’s especially close to our hearts.

The @packers rocked it this weekend. They granted Ethan's wish, giving him & his family an outstanding experience & an awesome win. They also added another field goal to the season, totaling 7 so far, equating to $7K to @MakeAWishWI from our friend, Richard Kessler. @MakeAWishGA
