✨ “Going through chemo was hard. My wish gave me something to look forward to and reminded me how good life can be.” – Lea, Wish Kid
In 2006, Lea’s wish for a shopping spree brought joy during a tough time in her life. Today, she’s a college graduate, a volunteer, and navigating the world independently with her guide dog, Thor. 💜🐾
On #NationalNonprofitDay, help us continue granting life-changing wishes like Lea’s.

Many of our donors first become involved with Indiana Wish after witnessing the impact of a wish in their own community.
🌟 Seeing joy firsthand is powerful. That’s why we love sharing wish stories—because each one has the power to inspire another act of kindness!
