Review for Make-A-Wish Foundation Connecticut, Trumbull, CT, USA
I'm a wish starter and wish granter volunteer for Make A Wish CT--3 years now. It's hard to put into words how fulfilling this work is! Meeting families and wish kids, getting to know their stories, and helping them to determine their "one true wish" has opened my eyes to the immense 'value' of a granted wish for the Wish Kid and for his/her family--we give them a magical moment to cherish in their difficult lives. The staff at Make A Wish is beyond amazing--truly committed, passionate and ready to move mountains to help us volunteers to make wishes come true. Outstanding leadership from this genuinely caring organization. I love my volunteer role. I've become a donor, too, since I see how important and 'normalizing' a wish can be for a child with a critical illness.
