    I gotta say this...If I EVER come in to a large sum of money, like winning the lottery, you know what one of the things I want to do is? I will call Make A Wish or contact them somehow, and grant a couple of wishes for kids, no questions asked, and the charity wouldn't be on the hook for any expense at all. I love this stuff, love the videos even more. I've never known anyone that's been through tough times like this, but I don't care, this stuff is AWESOME like I said. Keep it up.

      When I flew one way to move to Germany.... even though it wasn't much, I gave my flier miles to Make a Wish. I got a letter that said how grateful they were, even if a person only gave one free mile, or hundreds of thousands.....so I know any gift is appreciated.

      That is what every lottery winner should be allowed to do with the taxes, in my opinion. I think some of the taxes should go to paying for charity.

    @catjudo1 Před 5 lety +1

    I would have loved to meet Dale Sr. and/or Dan Gurney, but almost 45 years of good health have been a good consolation prize. Makes me smile when the drivers spend time with fans, and I can't imagine being a kid and being that sick.

  • @marisaa.tamayo

    My brother loves NASCAR. He started go kart racing so he can be a NASCAR driver when he's older.

  • @makeawish
    @makeawish  Před 11 lety +28

    Thanks for watching our videos & commenting, Kyle. Wishes are hard to quantify if you've never met a wish kid.
    A 2011 U.S. study of wish impact found: Most health professionals believe a wish-come-true can have positive impacts on the health of a child. Kids say wishes give them renewed strength to fight their illnesses, and their parents say these experiences helped strengthen the entire family.
    Wish experiences are life-changing experiences. It's why we believe so strongly in our mission.

    • @marisaa.tamayo

    I'm 15 years old now but when I was about 8 years old I wanted to drive go karts competitively and my parents thought it would be a good thing for me to do and I really loved watching motorsports so I really wanted to try it. but then my parents found out how much a small go kart cost and how much it costs to maintain it. and that was the beginning of the end of that.

    I don't know about some of these things. The idea is really, really nice but when you get into really prying and hurtful questions and when people just let them win, it's a little much. I mean, he's a teenager, he got to know they're just letting him win which I'm sure kind of makes him feel diminished. Still, it'd be a really awesome experience.
