We Are A Wish Come True!

To our donors, volunteers and wish friends:

Once again, we thought it necessary to clarify a couple of things concerning a newspaper report earlier this week that the Make-A-Wish chapter in RI could be having its charter revoked, and possibly ceasing operations in the state.

This is not us!

A Wish Come True is a local charitable organization, and has no affiliation with any national foundations. We were made aware of this development after a previous media report made it public this past summer. And since that time, we've continued to go about our business, every day.

We know that oftentimes, our work and our name are confused with their brand, because their brand is so visual - and very national in scope. However, we've worked very hard over the past couple of years to make sure YOU, as well as the local public at large, understand that we are not Make-A-Wish. We are A Wish Come True, Inc. And we thank you for letting others know this as well.

What we are, as many of you know, is a local wish-granting organization. We're older, we're stable, and we're still very much in business. We are in compliance with all local non-profit requirements and filings. We are staffed by four part-time employees, and rely greatly on the kindness and willingness of our wonderful volunteers to help raise funds and awareness for our children. And our monies raised here STAY HERE, for local children. We're going to continue doing what we've done for the past 26 years - give kids and families the chance to know that "Dreams are only A Wish away."

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us here at the Wish House, (401) 781-9199. Or, send an email to john@awishcometrue.org. Thank you, for all you do, for our children!
