My Monthly Charity for December 2008 is the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  The Make-A-Wish Foundation helps make wishes come true for children with life threatening diseases.  Founded in 1980 it started when Chris Greicius had his wish come true to become a police officer and from then on it’s grown worldwide, making wishes come true everyday.

“We grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.” – Make-A-Wish Foundation Mission Statement

The Make-A-Wish Foundation uses the power of a wish to bring hope in tough times for kids and the people around them.   Through a gracious group of volunteers of more than 25,000 people the foundation is able to provide services as wish granters, fundraisers, aids in special events and many other things that help make wishes come true.

In the spirit of the holidays I hope to help make a child’s wish come true by writing about the Make-A-Wish Foundation this month and making a donation.  Help make a wish come true at Wish.org.
