Another week closer to the Christmas 96...and time for another charity!
While I was at SMU, I had the opportunity to familiarize myself with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, thanks to Chi Omega. I got to see first-hand how the foundation grants wishes and gives kids reasons to be joyful, despite their disheartening situations. Make-A-Wish is a nationwide organization and Chi Omega worked closely with its North Texas affiliate. We saw a variety of wishes granted to include trips to Disney World, runway modeling, and celebrity meetings.
Make-A-Wish aims to grant these wishes, not just to allow kids the opportunity to do cool things, but to give them joy and hope: tools that may give them the strength and determination to fight off their life-threatening conditions. The good that this organization does is magnificent and I am so honored to have played even a small role in granting wishes.
You may donate to Make-A-Wish here, or, if you would like to recommend a child to Make-A-Wish, you may do that here.
God Bless, Everyone!
