A wish fund for kids facing real hardship or growing up without the basics. One nomination is drawn on the first Friday of every month, and the family gets help making the wish real.
A personal fund, not a charity. No outside funding is accepted. No identity is shared without permission.
Parent or guardian fills the form for a kid facing real hardship: first name, age, what they're up against, the wish, and the amount. A sentence is enough. No medical records, no school, no address.
One entry is picked at random from the pending nominations on the first Friday. If your kid isn't picked this month, the entry stays in for the next one. Once selected, that kid is out.
The team contacts the guardian and works with the family, and a local partner where it makes sense, to turn the wish into something real.
The total pool is $12,000 for now. One wish is capped at $1,000 for the next draw; the cap is set monthly by the backend and changes. If the team adds more, the new total is posted.
the short version One kid a month, one selection per kid. One wish max $1,000 for the next draw, set monthly by the backend. Anonymous requests are okay. The team verifies after the draw and can disqualify entries that don't check out. The fund can close at any time; no wish is guaranteed.
read the full terms & conditions →After a wish is fulfilled, the team will email the family to ask whether they want to share the kid's name or photo. Nothing is posted without a yes. They can opt out then, or on the form.
Every nomination received before 6pm ET on the first Friday of the month is in that month's draw. One entry is picked at random. Not picked? Your kid stays in for next month. Every wish comes out of the same pool.
The first draw is on the schedule above. Only the story the family allows goes here. Names and photos are optional, and the team asks by email.
The pool is $12,000 for now and can grow if the team adds more. The draw picks one pending nomination at random each month. No pay-to-win, no algorithm deciding who deserves it.

A sentence is enough; no medical records, school names, or addresses.

Kids facing real hardship or growing up without the basics: illness, disability, loss, or a family that can't cover everyday needs. It isn't a general wishlist for kids who already have plenty.
Not unless the family allows it. If selected, the team emails the guardian to ask whether they want to share a name or photo. Nothing is posted without a yes. Families can also opt out on the form.

Yes. Check the anonymous box and your name isn't stored. A private email is still required so the team can verify and contact you if selected. The kid's identity is not shared without permission.
The entry is removed and the next valid nomination may be drawn. A winner can be disqualified after the draw if consent or details don't check out, or if the wish is unsafe, illegal, or over the cap. What the pool covers can depend on the wish and its cost.
Yes, if the team adds more. It's $12,000 total for now. If the team adds more, the pool goes up and it will be posted. Same draw, bigger pool.
