“You make a living by what you get, but you make a life
by what you give"
-- Winston Churchill
Fulfilling
wishes to children living in Rhode Island & areas of Southeastern
Massachusetts is possible because of the efforts of our dedicated
volunteers. Whether providing administrative support, organizing
fundraisers, or wish granting, our volunteers are the reason these
children’s wishes come true! Through the hard work and commitment of
volunteers we are able to continue to grant wishes to children with
life-threatening medical conditions each year!
We are always looking for volunteers to help in several
areas, including:
and much more!
