In 2025, the Little Wish Foundation proudly celebrates 15 years of bringing hope, comfort, and joy to pediatric oncology patients through the simple but powerful act of granting a “little wish.”

Liz, the founder, said:
“It’s hard to believe that 15 years have passed since I lost my dear friend Max to cancer – a moment that changed my life forever. At just 16, I had no idea how to start a foundation, but I knew I wanted to make a difference. What began with a single wish has grown into a movement. Since 2010, we’ve granted over 4,000 little wishes, each one made possible by our generous, compassionate supporters.

I still remember our very first wish. Tia, a classmate of mine, was our first recipient. She loved to read, but a brain tumor had taken her sight. Her wish? An iPod to fill her days with music. I went door-to-door in my neighborhood until I raised enough to make her wish come true. I’ll never forget delivering it. That moment lives in my heart to this day.”

To honor 15 years of these joyful, life-affirming moments, we are thrilled to share that we’ve received two $15,000 matching gift commitments. That means your gift today can go twice as far in helping children fighting cancer receive a little wish that brings big joy.

Whether you are interested in sponsoring an event, becoming a recurring donor, or supporting an individual wish, we invite you to join our mission by making a contribution today.
