ONE SIMPLE WISH
Invite reviews
I have been working with One Simple Wish for over a year now, and I've always found One Simple Wish to be fast, effective, and precise when it comes to its purpose- granting wishes for foster children and impoverished families. One Simple Wish founder and Executive Director, Danielle Gletow, is an awesome face for the organization, caring and passionate about the cause.

my own life. As a foster child, I am eligible for the Wish Granting program. I have had wishes granted for me. In addition, I may be participating in the Wish to Work program soon!

Increase the funding so that full-time staff can be hired!
I have only been with One Simple WIsh for almost two months now, but I can already tell what an amazing organization this is! Everyone involved, whether they're Board Members or Volunteers, is passionate about the mission of OSW. The impact on a child when a "simple" wish is granted is enormous; not only do they get something special and personalized that they've been wanting, they also gain the knowledge that there are people out there who care about them and their future. It has been an honor to be part of an organization filled with individuals who work extremely hard to make children feel special and advocate for a group that needs it!

Helping girls in the Wish Shop pick out their prom day attire. This gives some girls the chance to take part in and feel beautiful for this important rite of passage

Make it bigger so it could reach even more children!!
OSW is a wonderful organization with a wonderful mission. It's great that the focus is to provide for those who are often left without a voice- even in the non-profit world. Even if you can't 'be there' physically, you can make your presence known by granting a wish. It's cool to visit the website and see a wish. At that point, it really becomes personal and you really do feel good after helping. Great idea and great progress so far. I see big things for OSW.

One Simple Wish has touched the lives of so many children and families in one of the most important and simple ways. At a time when a child may feel lost, vulnerable, alone, or like no one cares for them they receive a little hope. It is the small things that make the difference in the lives of these children and OSW really makes that happen; and makes it possible for everyone to play a part. I have been at OSW since November 2010 and must say I am honored to be able to be a part of this organization and making a difference in the lives of these children. Every day is more fulfilling and rewarding than the last and I hope we continue=e to grow and receive support from the community!
