Wish kid Pua is an aspiring videographer who loves filming and video editing. For her wish, she received her own professional videography equipment—helping her pursue what she loves and chase her future goals. 📹✨
“We felt like we could breathe again, seeing her so happy.” – Pua’s mom, Ellen ☺️
This Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we’re honoring how wishes like Pua’s help wish kids explore their passions. 💙

This #InternationalNursesDay, we celebrate the nurses and medical providers who bring hope, strength, and comfort to children with critical illnesses like Roslyn. 🩺
During her cancer treatment, Roslyn developed a close bond with her hospital care team, inspiring her heartfelt wish to bake them cakes. 🎂 “Most of the time, she would look forward to going [to the hospital],” said her dad, Eric. “She’d say, ‘I get to see my nurses!’”
Thank you for the compassionate care you give to wish kids like Roslyn. 💙

Thank you, Capitol Subaru, for sharing the love and raising over $43,000 during the 2025 Subaru Share the Love Event—enough to grant four life-changing wishes for children battling critical illnesses here in the Greater Bay Area. We are so lucky to have you as our hometown charity partner! 🚗💙

Wish mom Lindy spent years referring her patients to Make-A-Wish as a pediatric nurse. She never imagined her son, Easton, would one day receive a wish. Their lives changed in an instant when Easton was diagnosed with cancer.
After rounds of chemotherapy and radiation, Easton completed his final treatment—a milestone he and his family will never forget. Soon after, his wish to go to Hawaii with his family came true, where the sun and surfing helped restore his confidence and joy. 🌊🌴
This #NationalNursesWeek, we thank nurses like Lindy, whose care and compassion for wish kids like Easton help create life-changing moments of hope and joy. 💙🩺
