Are you wondering how it works? Well when a wish request is submitted to Wish Granters, it is reviewed by the Wish Team, which is made up of volunteer board members. The team determines if the wish is eligible and feasible. If the wish is approved, Wish Granters works to make it happen. A member of the Wish Team meets with that wish recipient and their primary caregiver or family member in person to give the experience a personal touch and really get to know them. Granting the wish usually involves working with vendors, arranging transportation, and sometimes even coordinating volunteers. Wish Granters is committed to making sure that every wish is a special experience! The organization works to create wishes that are tailored to the individual’s interests and needs, all while making the wish experience as memorable as possible. Wishes are a powerful way to make a difference in the lives of terminally ill adults and their families. If you are interested in supporting Wish Granters, there are many ways to get involved! Monetary donations are extremely helpful, as granting wishes can sometimes be expensive, and general costs are increasing each and every day. In Kind donations are also extremely helpful because they can provide quite a wide range of resources to make wishes come true.
Here are some examples of in-kind donations that could align with the needs of Wish Granters:
• Gift cards to restaurants, stores, or entertainment venues
• Travel accommodations, such as hotel stays, timeshares, rental properties, or rental cars
• Event tickets, such as sporting events or concerts
• Gift baskets filled with food, gift cards, or other items
• Mobility supplies or equipment, such as a lift chair or wheelchair
• Gift certificates for services, such as haircuts or massages
• Any type of items that we could use in silent & live auctions at our events
Wish Granters is always looking for new and creative ways to grant wishes. If you have an idea for an in-kind donation, please contact the organization to see if it would be a good fit. Imagine being told that you have a terminal illness. Imagine knowing that you don’t have much time left. Now imagine that someone comes along and gives you the gift of a wish - a wish to do something you have always wanted. That’s what Wish Granters does. They give people a chance to experience joy and happiness one last time. Your donation can help them to grant more wishes and make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.
