Make-A-Wish is seeking to spark hope this holiday season with the debut of the Holiday Wish Line, a telephone hotline with messages recorded by wish kids designed to give callers a moment of joy as they navigate the holiday season. The messages aim to inspire togetherness and maintain the festive spirit.

Through Sunday, Dec. 31, six wish kids, who have all battled a critical illness, will provide kid-friendly advice, stories, and funny moments via phone at 215-445-1302. Callers will be asked to select from a series of prompts upon calling the hotline to listen to messages from Jasper, a 5-year-old with chronic respiratory failure, who wished for a backyard playset; Brantley, a 7-year-old with a heart condition, who wanted to see snow and wished to build a snowman with his family; Annabelle, a 9-year-old with cystic fibrosis, who wished to skate with her favorite hockey team, the Las Vegas Golden Knights; Ava, an 11-year-old with a heart condition, whose wish allowed her to learn firsthand what it takes to be a content creator; Fernie, an 11-year-old with cancer, who, as an avid athlete, wished for a batting cage in his backyard; and Holin, a 10-year-old, whose love for music landed her onstage with her favorite singer.

Proceeds raised through the holiday season will go toward funding more wishes. To learn more, visit http://www.wish.org/wishline.
