Sixteen-year-old Alyssa loves shopping and getting boba tea with her friends. When Alyssa found out she got a wish, she immediately envisioned going to high-end stores to pick out designer clothes and jewelry. The day of the wish, Alyssa skipped school and got the VIP treatment at Cartier, Christian Louboutin, and Tiffany & Co. Thank you to all for helping make Alyssa’s wish so special. “Alyssa and the gang had a blast yesterday,” wrote her mom, Marjorie, after the wish. “It was a mission accomplished for Alyssa and she was overjoyed. She said it’s the best Tuesday of her life!” Thank you, Rishi Dixit and Georgia Dean, for generously adopting Alyssa's wish! #TestimonialTuesday

After being diagnosed with cancer at four years old, Amelia had to miss half of a year of preschool for her treatment and recovery. Amelia is a devoted Disney fan—she loves dressing up in sparkly dresses, makeup, and wigs and pretending to be a Disney princess. When deciding on her wish, she knew it had to be Walt Disney World and meeting the characters there. Amelia, her parents, and her three older brothers spent an enchanting week exploring the parks. “Amelia had the best time of her life,” says her mom, Adriana. “She finally went to Mickey's house and became the princess she always wanted to be. Everything was perfect. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.” Thank you to SOLID Personnel for adopting Amelia's wish! #TestimonialTuesday

Our 40th Birthday Summer Miles Drive is here! Six years ago, Amy’s family vacation to Hawaii was overshadowed by her illness. She felt sick and was unable to fully enjoy the trip. Thankfully, when Amy wished to go to Hawaii, she was able to get a “do over” on the experience and fully enjoy her island adventure. "It was Amy’s best trip," wrote her dad, Anfeng. “Thanks to Make-A-Wish for everything you’ve done for us.” Help more wishes like Amy's take flight and donate your unused miles today: https://lnkd.in/ggPZb_Rx. Every mile you donate will be matched, doubling your impact! #MilesDriveMonday #AirlineMiles #LoyaltyPrograms
