Restaurants Helping Dreams Come True

​By Isabella Martinez 

Make a Wish is a nonprofit organization that grants kids their wishes when they have critical illnesses. This organization, founded in 1980 in Phoenix, Arizona, has now made its way across 50 countries. 

The wishes can be various things, such as meeting a celebrity or visiting their dream vacation. Regardless of the wish, it brightens the children’s lives. Make a Wish is built from donations and sponsors to help make these wishes come true.
