Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana has granted more than 11,500 wishes since its inception in 1984. We seek to bring every eligible child's wish to life because a wish is an integral part of a child's treatment journey. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight their illness. Our chapter serves 47 counties in the Texas Gulf Coast and all 64 parishes in Louisiana.

Local Wishes are Waiting!
We are a community-based organization, serving families throughout the entire state of Louisiana. Right now, there are 300+ Louisiana wish kids waiting on their wish, 112 of whom reside in the Greater New Orleans area. A wish forever transforms the lives of children, their families and entire communities. Thanks to passionate supporters like you, Make-A-Wish shines a light of hope for children fighting critical illnesses when they need it most.

Wishes Transform Lives
Wishes are more than just a nice thing. And they are far more than gifts, or singular events in time. Wishes impact everyone involved!
