    Our Mission

    Make-A-Wish's mission is to create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Our chapter directly serves the children and families residing in San Diego and Imperial counties. Each year, we grant over 200 wishes for children experiencing critical illnesses in our community. To learn more about Make-A-Wish San Diego, check out our website: https://wish.org/sandiego/.

This volunteer will help raise awareness about our mission and provide information to hospital staff and families about how wishes can make a life-changing impact for children with critical illnesses so that every eligible child is referred for a wish.
