Welcome to the official channel for Make-A-Wish® Alaska and Washington videos.
Together, we create life-changing wish experiences for children with critical illnesses. Research shows children who have wishes granted build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. This improves their quality of life and produces better health outcomes. When a wish is granted, a child replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy and anxiety with hope. Yet, not every child in our territory who is eligible for a wish receives one. With your help, we can change that. For more information please call 800.304.9474, visit akwa.wish.org or connect with us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @MakeAWishAKWA.

Cameron’s Wish for a Safe Outdoor Space
Due to his highly compromised immune system, 7-year-old Cameron has been limited in his social interactions. “Cameron wished for a safe outdoor space so he can play with his friends again, feel normal. It’ll give our family a sense of relief,” said his mom, Joy.
It takes a village to make wishes like Cameron's come true. Huge thanks to Cornerstone General Contractors, Inc., who jumped in on Cameron's wish, even supplying custom construction gear for Cameron to be the ultimate project manager. Special thanks to North River Concrete & Pumping LLC, CALPORTLAND Company, and LaRusso Concrete Inc. - for donations of labor, equipment, and materials to fulfill Cameron’s dream. Heartfelt thanks to Red Robin, Costco, and Yardistry for generously contributing to Cameron’s wish day.

MAW 2022 Marquis 1000th Wish Video v3 0c FINAL
The scene of Felix and her making sandcastles together made me absolutely lose it. 🥹 I've just been accepted as a volunteer at my local Make-A-Wish branch and will be going on my first wish assignment soon.
God bless Sir Richard, he’s such a sweetheart.
God is good all the time ❤❤❤❤
If anyone knows where I can find the book I'd appreciate it
Thanks for your interest in this book. Stephanie's book was never publicly sold and all copies were given to her and her family. I'm sorry that I don't have any to give to you!
@@MakeAWishAKWA thank you

Who the heck is cutting onions in here
Beautiful beautiful soul
that was nice of her she got me choked up man.. hope she stays in good health from now on❤
Happy to hear she cancer free! Bless her heart for using her wish for others
I love my bestie she’s so strong ❤🥰
I have the pleasure of knowing Wyatt, as he is a good friend of my daughter's from high school. Such a courageous, bright, wonderful young man. What a wonderful video. God bless you all for making him feel so special.
Its been 10 years of great memories and I still talk and shoot the shit with peoplebfrom 2014. Gaming brings a lot of different people together like any other hobby, but it feels more personal to me.
Incredible. I was a make a wish recipient as well and I still look back on those memories fondly. I hope to see you starside, Wyatt
This warms my heart
Sure, I play Destiny and Destiny 2 because the gameplay is fun. I play it because I'm invested in the story. But the most important reason I play it is because I cherish the time I spend with my friends, as we all squad up in orbit for a night of literally anything. Bungie has always been a master of bringing people together, and seeing others share in that delight like Wyatt has is the reason I play this game.
This was totally awesome!!!!
Best thing to ever happen to Jojo.🧡🎗️
You did a good job beating cancer
We are so grateful for Make-A-Wish who provided a wonderful trip for our little daughter post-leukemia. I am a quadriplegic, and, like Trey, had to sit on the sidelines of life until I discovered the TerrainHopper. Now, like Trey, I am also unstoppable! And, Hoppers for Heroes can assist nonprofit organizations with purchasing a TerrainHopper for deserving heroes. Truly life-changing!
Don't like FBB that much but this is wholesome.
B17 flight would be great
Man, this would be my dream too, maybe slightly different, but very similar. Good to see the youth of America take interest in history. I hope this child is doing well.
These videos show that officers are caring people and do a lot for the Community's they serve. God bless the police officers each and every day.
That’s really heart warming. I’ve always wanted to be in a reenactment and to see this just makes me want to do it even more. It seems like an amazing community of people that all want to have fun and spread history. 3 cheers for John!
Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
Good for you. Great delivery. - Some powerful words "i like to spend my time with purpose toward realizing my hopes and dreams I'm an optimist. i like to look at challenges, ones that sometimes take mustering a lot of courage and find a way through." "Never loose sight of my dreams" "It gave me permission to dream and dream big again" ....the power of a colour dot matrix printer ....:)
Hope he's still in remission...!
This is actually really good for one person! Good job people!
That boy is a stud
Great kid all the best to him and his family and a huge thank you to the coast guard and all our military for what you do. Thank you for your service.
😊 ᑭᖇOᗰOᔕᗰ
Very brave young man. This is great. I hope you are doing well, Tim. God Bless!
Did they "reenact" the part where they took over the airports? 🤣
God bless Lindsey.
Huzzah! What a beautiful story!
I guess Rex Velvet is the real hero
That's cute. In away I can't say totally I kinda get what theses kids go through when I was a month old I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. And I hated every bit of it I was bullied and put out since I was different than anyone else around me. Not to put in anything above what these kids go through is way more than myself but in away I can say I understand their pain.
This kid is a frogman ,his a champ 👍🙂🤘👏 good for him ,awesome wish by the way.🙂
