Tim’s Story: Investing in the Impact of Wishes

Tim is a long-time supporter of local causes in his community, as he strongly believes in the power of giving back. “I’ve spent most of my career in business and real estate,” Tim said, “and I try to do what I can to help those who are less fortunate.” His connection to Make-A-Wish grew naturally, as supporting children in need has always been close to his heart.

For Tim, the Make-A-Wish mission resonates deeply. “These kids are in difficult situations through no fault of their own,” he said. “If I can help bring joy to their lives, even for a moment, I think that’s beneficial and rewarding.” While Tim has supported many nonprofits, the longevity of Make-A-Wish and the immediate impact of wishes stood out to him.

Though Tim hasn’t met any wish kids in person, he stays connected by following the creative wishes shared by the organization. “I love seeing the diversity in what these kids wish for,” Tim said. “The fact that the staff makes these wishes happen in such meaningful ways is incredible. It’s very rewarding to be able to give to an organization where you have tangible results that occur almost immediately, and you see that through the stories of these kids.”

Tim believes in supporting children locally because of their potential to grow into future leaders. “These kids are going to remain in the community. Helping them now benefits everyone in the long run,” he said.

When asked why others should join him in becoming a WishMaker, Tim’s message is clear: “There’s an immediate need to help these kids, and this is an opportunity to bring joy into their lives when they need it most. I don’t know if there’s a greater need than that and adding a bright spot to someone’s life who’s going through difficult treatment.”

Tim offers a simple call to action: “A wish gives kids hope. Will you join me in making more wishes come true?”
