Make-A-Wish Rio Grande Valley grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy.
Wish granter volunteers go in and interview the wish kids to determine their wishes, and then act as a liaison between the families and the Make-A-Wish staff to help make the wishes happen.
We are looking for volunteers who can travel to various parts of the Rio Grande Valley to help in places such as: Rio Grande City, Mission, McAllen, PSJA, Weslaco, Harlingen, Brownsville and Raymondville.

Mission Statement
We grant the wishes of children with critical illnesses to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.
Description
Make-A-Wish Rio Grande Valley was founded in 1998 and serves the 6 southernmost counties in the state of Texas. We have granted more than 1300 wishes. All money raised in the Valley, stays to help the children of the Valley.
For a child with a critical illness, a wish is an opportunity to dream. It is a time for children to go far from the reality of doctors and hospital ... s that they face everyday, to a world of fantasy and imagination. A wish is a day, or a week without a thought of being sick and a time to just remember being a kid. The smiles, laughter, and tears of joy are symptoms that these children and families would not trade in for the world. The power of a wish cannot be measured, but we do know that many times a wish provides a reason to continue fighting.
