One Simple Wish

Good morning! How is everyone feeling this Monday? Asking because we really do want to hear!

If you are a foster parent or know someone who is, can you please share this post? We want more people to know that One Simple Wish is a resource to their kids.

There are nearly 70 wishes from kids in foster care & crisis waiting to be granted that are $25 or less!!! We think this beautiful community could grant them all, don't you? onesimplewish.org/giving/25orless

Just sitting here imaging what it would be like if all the wishes on our site came true in one single day. Hasn't happened since the Reddit hug of 2021 we think...

We shared this message on Threads this morning and 22 wishes were granted!!!

YOU ROCK! Thank you!!!! There are so many wishes waiting and every single donation helps so much!

YOU DID IT!!!! Aiden't wish was granted thanks to all your incredible $5 Venmo donations yesterday! Go Birds! (and from this Chiefs fan that is a big deal! - ;DG)

$125 towards our $375 goal to get Aiden's longest waiting wish granted today. We can do this!

$120 now! Just $255 to go! :-)

You should check out what your friends are doing today to get the longest-waiting wish granted! $120 of the $375 needed for Aiden's VR headset...all in $5 (& a few $10) donations. Lots of "Go Birds" ;-)

Up to $90! Just need another 57 people to give $5! And you don't need to be an @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social fan to help, but so far Venmo is just lighting up with Go Birds so...

Up to $90 now!!!

Already at $65 with many of the donations cheering "Go Birds" Love it!

@philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social fans are always coming through for our kids!

Are @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social fans the most generous people...?! Already at $65 towards Aiden's longest waiting wish!

LOVE THIS! Already at $65!!!!

Before we all settle into football Sunday - anyone want to do a $5 Venmo challenge to see if we can get the longest waiting wish granted? It's a wish for a VR headset from 17 y/o Aiden who spent years in group homes. If just 75 people donated $5 through Venmo.com/onesimplewish - it'd be granted

Can't wait to see wht @treblaw.bsky.social does this year!!!

You have time right now to show someone they matter. Please use it.

This is the first time in years we have not met a match challenge, or even come close. But we are still so grateful we were able to get all these wishes granted by using reserve funds & some wish funds created by supporters. We know the world is hurting right now & we promise to keep bringing joy.

💥 TODAY ONLY: $2,500 FLASH MATCH! 💥
Every dollar donated is doubled—which means every wish that is needed today can be granted. 🎉

Give $1 (or more!) at onesimplewish.org/donate or Venmo OneSimpleWish and watch your impact multiply. Let’s cover our kids in love today!!! ✨

Love you @treblaw.bsky.social ! Had to take a little time off from managing every social media account so I could get much-needed intensive mental health treatment. This community always reminds me it's ok to take care of myself cause you all got me & our kids.
Now go grant more wishes! 😉

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day.

Suicide Prevention is
listening.

Suicide Prevention is
compassion.

Suicide Prevention is
kindness.

We are so glad you're here.

Friends/Universe: can you help us grant the last 100 wishes for kids in #fostercare before the end of May? They’re just $25 each at onesimplewish.org/giving/May2025

OMG YAY! You'll be seeing us all over soon enough!

April should be graduating high school this month. Instead, we are granting a wish to cover her funeral expenses. The wishes we receive can be heartbreaking. But we will continue to do this work, share stories and be a voice for all who need us.

James is 13 and lives in a residential facility. He had a wish that cost under $30. He thought it was too expensive to ask for, but we are so glad he did. Wish Granted.

We need to make more noise!!! It is FOSTER CARE AWARENESS MONTH and we have barely heard a peep. You really can help - just put on something blue, snap a pic and post it with a One Simple Wish tag. Just doing that gets more wishes granted for kids in foster care!

Did you know that One Simple Wish grants over 25,000 wishes a year to kids & young adults impacted by foster care and crisis? Wishes are typically $10-$500 and can be for pretty much anything that brings love, hope, and joy!

Please be a little extra kind to the helpers these days.
