About Make-A-Wish Greater Los Angeles

A life-changing wish can be a crucial turning point in the lives of children diagnosed with critical illnesses. Make-A-Wish Greater Los Angeles is driven to make every one of these wishes come true, inspiring hope and resilience in these young individuals.

The organization's mission began in Phoenix, Arizona in 1980, when a community came together to grant the wish of a 7-year-old boy battling leukemia. Today, Make-A-Wish has granted hundreds of thousands of life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses across the U.S. and its territories.
