About Us

Make-A-Wish® Massachusetts and Rhode Island creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses between the ages of 2½ and 18. A wish fulfilled is an integral part of a child’s treatment journey, helping to replace fear with confidence, sadness with joy, and anxiety with hope, while uniting and strengthening families. Together, with generous supporters, 600+ volunteers, and our staff, we have granted more than 8,000 wishes for children in Massachusetts and Rhode Island in our 31-year history. Our vision is to grant every eligible child’s wish.
