About Make-A-Wish® San Diego
Make-A-Wish San Diego creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses in San Diego and Imperial Counties. Since its inception in 1983, the San Diego chapter has granted more than 4,500 wishes to children in our community.  At Make-A-Wish, the goal is simple: provide children and their families with a life-affirming experience in the midst of a very challenging time. We serve children from all areas of both San Diego and Imperial Counties and our demographics span every socio-economic and ethnic demographic. No eligible child is ever turned away, and a family’s financial status, race, or religion has no bearing on whether or not a child will receive a wish.
