 Jesse still can’t believe it’s his car. His mom’s formerly humdrum 1999 Dodge Intrepid was given a complete transformation for his wish and now it looks more like a black space ship than a sedan. Super cool!
 5 year old Kendra loves Beauty and the Beast and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, so it wasn't surprising that her wish was to visit Mickey and his friends and play with Princesses at Disneyland Resort in California!
 Manraj had always dreamed of one day travelling to Europe, so it came as no surprise when he chose to see Paris for his wish.
 12 year old Kalem was born with a congenital heart defect and has already endured five open heart surgeries; four of them before he was even a year old.
 Crocodile Hunter Ashton, left his little dog Tucker and boarded a flight to Florida to begin his magical journey to Walt Disney World.
 12-year-old Josh loves amusement parks, but hates line-ups, so his wish was to experience front-of-the-line VIP treatment at Walt Disney World in Orlando.
 15 year old Tristan just returned from his whirlwind wish trip to New York City!
 With an avid interest in art and photography, 16 year old Mia asked for a MacBookPro for her wish.
 Thanks to everyone at CP Distributors Surrey branch, the realities of coping with a brain tumour were all but forgotten for 7 year old Alexis.
 15-year old Lucas loves gaming and watching movies, so when he wished for a home theatre system that his whole family could enjoy, Make-A-Wish delivered!

  Have you thought about planned giving and the tax benefits you could realize?
 Did you know that you can donate not only your car but old car batteries as well?
 It doesn't always take a large donation to help grant a wish. Small monthly gifts add up to big wishes all year long! Here's how!
   We’re always in need of small games & toys that we use as ice breakers when we first interview our wish kids, and similar items that we include in all traveling wish kids’ backpacks.
  Wishes at Work enables employees of a company or business to join together and design a fund raising event or an ongoing workplace campaign that fits the needs of their particular work environment.
