The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Mississippi is a non-profit organization that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. Last year, the Make-A-Wish Foundation made wishes come true for 115 children in the state. The Make-A-Wish Foundation of America is the country's largest wish-granting charity.
