Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
About us
Each day Make-A-Wish® New Jersey creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses in the Garden State. We believe that a wish experience can be a game-changer. This one belief guides us in everything we do. It inspires us to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids we serve. Wishes have proven physical and emotional benefits that can give children with critical illnesses a higher chance of survival. And wishes not only help these children – they also have far-reaching, positive impacts on their families and communities.

World Photography Day celebrates the art and craft of photography. It is a day where photographers showcase their work, share their passion for capturing moments, and inspire others to pick up a camera and start creating their own visual stories. Photography has the power to evoke emotions, tell stories, and capture the beauty of the world around us. Today we celebrate our volunteer photographers who help us catch those special moments when a Wish Child’s wish is granted.

On this special day, International Youth Day, we celebrate and honor the youth in our communities. One group, the Forever Five, consists of five girls who recently hosted a lemonade and food stand at the local tennis courts. Their efforts raised an impressive $623! When asked about their choice to donate the proceeds to Make-A-Wish New Jersey, they simply stated, “we wanted to make a difference for someone in need.” It's inspiring to see young individuals like them dreaming big and reaching for the stars.

Isaac was introduced to Make-A-Wish when his family learned that he was eligible for a wish and felt like he was in a dream when his wish to meet Chris Pratt came true. Isaac's wish made a life-changing difference for him by giving him a unique and memorable experience. It has inspired him to consider pursuing a career in acting and comedy, with dreams of moving to LA and giving back to children in need.
