It's always a treat to catch up with our wish families, and we were delighted to visit with Tiel Fitzwater McKee, M.Ed. and Jeffrey McKee, owners of Dream Vacations Round Rock. Tiel and Jeff are not only alumni wish parents but continue to give back by supporting fundraising efforts and planning travel wishes for other wish kids and families.

About us
Make-A-Wish® Central & South Texas creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We have granted more than 4,800 wishes since our inception in 1984. Wishes are more than just a nice thing. Wishes bring hope, strengthen wish kids in their battle for health, help families come closer together, rally communities, and change the lives of everyone involved. A combined 89% of doctors, nurses, social workers, and child-life specialists surveyed said that they believe a wish experience has the potential to influence a child's physical health.

Antonia hit the slopes of Colorado in style during her wish to go skiing 🎿 Always the adventurous type, she and her family skied and explored the mountain on snow mobiles. And in between all of the thrills, Antonia and her sister got some much needed time for self care and relaxation. We hope you had an amazing time on your wish, Antonia!

We had a fabulous time at the Texas Cavaliers River Parade! The theme of floats this year was "American Landmarks", so naturally, we were given Disney World 🌟 What a great celebration with our San Antonio community! #VivaFiesta

Our 5th Annual Wishes Under the Stars proved to be a dazzling night with hope shining bright! Because of the support of all of the generous donors and sponsors, over 48 children will experience the life-changing power of a wish. From inspiring stories illustrating the power that a wish holds, to a spectacular after-party, it was an evening to remember. View these and more photos at https://lnkd.in/grKNqRcw
