It is World Wish Day for the Make-A-Wish Foundation!
The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes everyday of the year, but today is a special day to commemorate the anniversary of the wish that inspired the creation of what is now one of the world's leading children’s charities.
I had the privilege of interning with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Mid-Atlantic last summer where I helped coordinate wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. 
I helped plan a variety of wishes. Including shopping sprees, room make-overs, trips to Disney World, and my favorite - trips to Washington D.C. to meet President Obama.
This picture is from a Wish Party that I was able to attend. Zoe wished for a lap top to play Dora the Explorer games on while she was receiving treatments in the hospital. She got a lap top and so much more thanks to the generous donations of many Make-A-Wish Foundation sponsors.
The smile on her face says it all.
