The mission

What this organization describes

Transform lives, one wish at a time.

Our mission: Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Our vision is to grant the wish of every eligible child. Wishes matter. A wish is not a fleeting gift - it's a carefully planned journey, designed to complement a child's medical treatment, and give them the hope, strength and joy they need to fight their illness. Make-A-Wish Nebraska has granted over 2,550 wishes to children in the state of Nebraska since 1983.
