We are celebrating our 40th summer of granting life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses across Colorado. Join us as we reflect on the lives that have been transformed over the past 4 decades and as we work to bring the hope of a wish to every eligible child! 

Wish kid Eden is a foodie. In 2016, her wish whisked her away to New York City, where she dined at world-renowned Michelin star restaurants! She remembers feeling the wonder and magic of every moment. It was her first time visiting the city, and it seemed like everyone she passed on the street smiled at her and everyone she met went out of their way to make her experience incredible. She finished her cancer treatment right before going on her wish, and a sense of relief and joy followed her and her family throughout the trip. Looking back on it now, Eden reflected that her wish “allowed me to be a more grateful person. Being sick made me lose a lot of hope for my future and independence, but my wish gave me that back and showed me that there are good things in the world and even strangers can care more deeply than I could've imagined."
