Make-A-Wish Michigan Needs Spanish-speaking Volunteers

Since 1984, Make-A-Wish Michigan has granted more than 12,000 wishes to courageous children with critical illnesses throughout the state. In 2024 alone, wishes have been granted for 500 Michigan-based children.

You can help change the lives of Michigan children battling critical illnesses by volunteering for Make-A-Wish Michigan. Our volunteers are our front line of helping us deliver our mission!

We are currently seeking Spanish speaking volunteers to provide translation services and help enhance wish access and opportunities for every eligible child.

It all starts with a question: “If you could wish for anything in the world, what would you wish for?” Each wish is as unique as the child, and our wish team’s sole focus is to exceed the wish child’s expectations and create a truly transformational wish experience. 

A wish from Make-A-Wish is more than meeting a special hero or taking a trip. A wish provides lasting hope and impact—not just for that moment when a wish is granted, but for a lifetime. This impact extends beyond the wish child, and the effects of the wish spread through their family, friends, medical team and community.

Wishes bring a newfound sense of hope and a positive focus, which has been proven to positively impact a child’s physical well-being and overall quality of life, as seen below.

  • One hundred percent of medical professionals said a wish experience improves a child’s emotional well-being.
  • Ninety-eight percent of medical professionals said a wish experience has a positive impact on a child’s physical well-being.

Make-A-Wish Michigan is one of 57 Make-A-Wish chapters across the country. Each chapter is its own 501(c)(3) with a board of directors, staff and volunteers. The organization does not receive state or federal funding to grant wishes, and funds donated to Make-A-Wish Michigan stay in Michigan and help to grant wishes in all 83 counties.

Additional Ways You Can Help:

REFER: Medical professionals, parents or legal guardians, and family members with detailed knowledge of the child’s current medical condition can refer a child to Make-A-Wish. We serve children with critical conditions in 12 different pediatric specialties. Visit michigan.wish.org/refer to learn more.

HELP OTHERS: Our volunteers are at the heart of every wish experience. Register to become a wish-granting volunteer and help kids realize their one true wish. Visit wish.org/michigan/volunteer for further information.

DONATE: Become a monthly donor, organize a payroll deduction or set up a fundraiser. Other opportunities include donating unused frequent flyer miles or your used car. Visit wish.org/michigan/ways-help-us to learn more.

JOIN: Join hundreds of supporters in our Trailblaze or Wish-A-Mile events; or attend a third-party event. For more information, visit wish.org/michigan/our-events.

EXPLORE: Follow us on social media (@makeawishmi) to learn more about the life-changing wishes we are granting in your neighborhood.

Make-A-Wish Michigan necesita voluntarios hispanohablantes

Desde 1984, Make-A-Wish Michigan (Pide un Deseo Michigan) ha cumplido más de 12,000 deseos a niños valientes con enfermedades graves en todo el estado. Tan solo en 2024, se cumplieron los deseos de 500 niños de Michigan.

Puede ayudar a cambiar la vida de los niños de Michigan que luchan contra enfermedades graves como voluntario de Make-A-Wish Michigan. ¡Nuestros voluntarios son la primera línea para ayudarnos a cumplir nuestra misión!

Actualmente buscamos voluntarios hispanohablantes para brindar servicios de traducción y ayudar a mejorar el acceso y las oportunidades para cada niño elegible.

Todo comienza con una pregunta: “Si pudieras desear cualquier cosa en el mundo, ¿qué pedirías?”. Cada deseo es tan único como el niño, y el único objetivo de nuestro equipo de deseos es superar las expectativas del niño y crear una experiencia verdaderamente transformadora.

Un deseo de Make-A-Wish es más que conocer a un héroe especial o hacer un viaje. Un deseo brinda esperanza y un impacto duradero, no solo en el momento en que se cumple, sino para toda la vida. Este impacto se extiende más allá del niño que lo pide, y sus efectos se extienden a su familia, amigos, equipo médico y comunidad.

Los deseos brindan una nueva sensación de esperanza y una actitud positiva, lo cual ha demostrado tener un impacto positivo en el bienestar físico y la calidad de vida general del niño, como se muestra a continuación.

  • El 100 % de los profesionales médicos afirmó que la experiencia de pedir un deseo mejora el bienestar emocional del niño.
  • El 98 % de los profesionales médicos afirmó que la experiencia de pedir un deseo tiene un impacto positivo en el bienestar físico del niño.

Make-A-Wish Michigan es una de las 57 sucursales de Make-A-Wish en todo el país. Cada sucursal es una organización 501(c)(3) independiente con una junta directiva, personal y voluntarios. La organización no recibe fondos estatales ni federales para conceder deseos, y los fondos donados a Make-A-Wish Michigan se quedan en Michigan y ayudan a conceder deseos en los 83 condados. Otras maneras de ayudar:

REFERENCIA: Profesionales médicos, padres o tutores legales, y familiares con conocimiento detallado de la condición médica actual del niño pueden referirlo a Make-A-Wish. Atendemos a niños con afecciones críticas en 12 especialidades pediátricas diferentes. Visite michigan.wish.org/refer para obtener más información.

AYUDE A LOS DEMÁS: Nuestros voluntarios son la clave de cada experiencia de deseo. Regístrese para convertirse en voluntario que concede deseos y ayude a los niños a cumplir su único y verdadero deseo. Visite wish.org/michigan/volunteer para obtener más información.

DONE: Conviértase en donante mensual, organice una deducción de nómina u organice una recaudación de fondos. Otras oportunidades incluyen donar millas de viajero frecuente no utilizadas o su auto usado. Visite wish.org/michigan/ways-help-us para obtener más información.

ÚNASE: Comparta con cientos de colaboradores en nuestros eventos Trailblaze o Wish-A-Mile; o asista a un evento de terceros. Para más información, visite wish.org/michigan/our-events.

EXPLORE: Síganos en redes sociales (@makeawishmi) para descubrir más sobre los deseos transformadores que estamos cumpliendo en su comunidad.
