Despite the challenges of respiratory failure, 5-year-old Roman is his own personal cheerleader. His wish to go to the Walt Disney World® Resort led to many firsts: his first family trip, first horse ride, and first theme park ride. Our friends at Give Kids the World helped accommodate Roman's needs and make his family feel special and supported. Like many wish kids, his medical equipment makes travel challenging, and his wish allowed them to bring his nurse along to help them enjoy their time together. By granting wishes, you help families like Roman's make memories that last a lifetime. Did you know that 80% of the wishes we grant are travel-related? Every year, we grant hundreds of wishes like Roman's to popular destinations and we need your support to help wishes take flight. You can donate airline miles and points to Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana, and once donated, your miles never expire. Donate Air Miles: https://lnkd.in/g3WXaDCU

2024 was another incredible year of granting wishes and reaching new milestones at Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana! Check out our 2024 Impact Report to see everything that was made possible by kind, caring, and generous people like you. We’re proud to have granted 21,000+ wishes since our founding, but more work remains to be done. We have to accelerate our fundraising efforts and broaden our reach to meet the growing need and achieve our vision of granting the wishes of every eligible child. Thank you for continuing to support our vital mission and for bringing hope, strength, and joy to our children, families, and communities. www.oki.wish.org/impact24
