Make-A-Wish Central & Northern Florida is proud to have granted over 8,000 wishes for children with critical illnesses since they were founded in 1994. Kids like, Holin, who wished to meet and sing with Kelsea Ballerini. Holin was born with five major heart defects, including a single ventricle warrior. She has a rare type of epilepsy from a stroke after one of her four open heart surgeries. She is living with a pacemaker, a paralyzed lung, and frequent seizures. Although her medical journey is far from over, she is an outgoing 13-year-old, singing, praising, carrying on, and giving back to others.

FAQ
The Impact of a Wish
The results of a the 2022 Make-A- Wish America Wish Impact study indicate that a large majority of Make-A- Wish alumni, parents, and medical providers overwhelmingly agree that the wish experience contributes substantially to physical, mental, and emotional health; and that the wish experience was a necessary part of the medical treatment journey, improved the odds of survival, provided a support system and better health outcomes, and gave the child a better chance of recovering from their critical illness.
