Testimonials
Make-A-Wish Foundation of Colorado works hard to ensure that each child receives his or her true wish and that each wish is special and is nothing but pure magic. Having granted nearly 3,000 wishes since our beginnings in 1983, we have touched thousands of lives over the years. Read what some of our wish families say about their experiences:
"Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful experience to remember. Brandon is such a special child to us and every memory we make is something we can cherish forever. We want him to spend everyday happy, healthy and experiencing life to the fullest. Thank you for adding to our happiness with our special trip. We heard him laugh, squeal, and sing. We saw him run, jump and hug his favorite characters. I don't know if you know how special your job is, but you touch so many people, people who spend a lot of time thinking 'what if tomorrow is bad?' 'what if next year is not a good?' 'what if...? what if..?' Thank you for making those 'what ifs?' go away for even a short period. We are so grateful to you."
“When Deidra was able to stand up and surf into shore I just stood on the beach alternating between screaming, laughing and crying. Whether she lives for many more years or is taken from us soon, our Wish memory will stay one of the highlights of her life and ours.” -Deidra's mom on Hawaiian Fire surfing school
"We would like to thank you for your great and kindly service to us while our eldest son, Kenny, took us on his Make-A-Wish vacation to Give Kids the World in Florida. We received many kindnesses, large and small. For Kenny, it was a thrill to meet some of his favorite characters, to acquire a few new stuffed animals to add to the family of favorites that line his bed and to enjoy some really cool rides. And we feel he gained some motivating experiences that he’ll be able to draw on for years to come. We can’t thank you enough for what you have done for us. Every day was magical. Thank you so very much!"
"How can I thank Make-A-Wish for such a wonderful experience? My trip to Oahu, Hawaii was everything I ever dreamed it would be. It was overwhelming how Make-A-Wish had every little detail taken care of for my parents and me. Swimming with the dolphins, parasailing and a lovely luau were exciting, memorable experiences. I am so grateful to Make-A-Wish for making my wish come true! Thank you!"
