Make-A-Wish East Tennessee

For Clara, a wish come true meant standing among the Giant Sequoias, exploring breathtaking waterfalls, and making unforgettable memories with her family in California. 🌲💙

After bravely battling leukemia, Clara spent a week experiencing the beauty of Mariposa Grove and the wonders of nature she had dreamed of seeing.

"The trip was amazing! Thank you again for all that you do," her dad shared.

We are so honored to have been part of Clara's wish journey. ✨

What an unforgettable evening at A Nibble In The Night! ✨

We are incredibly grateful to Terence Locke and his amazing family for bringing our community together for such a meaningful event. From the exceptional food and talented chefs to the incredible entertainment, the night was a true celebration of generosity, connection, and compassion.

The event also served as a meaningful way to honor to Anthony North, a wish alum whose memory continues to bring people together and inspire connection among family, friends, and the community he loved.

Make-A-Wish East Tennessee is honored to have been part of this special event and thankful for everyone who attended, supported, and helped make the night such a success. Because of caring supporters like you, we can continue bringing hope, joy, and life-changing wishes to local children facing critical illnesses. 💙⭐

Help us celebrate this incredible milestone and the power of wishes made possible through partnership. ⭐

On May 20th, we had a day we’ll never forget at JTV 💙⭐️

We were honored to partner with JTV to help make a wish come true for an incredible 7-year-old boy named Bronson, who bravely battled leukemia.

Because Bronson loves gemstones—especially amethyst 💜—JTV’s Robert Thomas led him on a fun scavenger hunt throughout the building, filled with clues, surprises, and special gifts along the way.

One of the sweetest moments of the day followed… Bronson joined JTV’s Heidi Williams and Scott on-air, where he found out his wish was coming true—he was heading to the most magical place on earth in Orlando! ✨🏰

To wrap up the celebration, JTV employees gathered to celebrate Bronson with his favorite candy—Skittles. 🌈

Seeing Bronson smile, laugh, and simply enjoy being a kid meant so much to all of us. We are incredibly grateful for partners like JTV who help us create moments like these and make wishes come true for children in East Tennessee. Your continued support makes it all possible. 💙

Callum’s wish has officially been granted—and what an incredible adventure it was! 💚✨

At just 4 years old, Callum, who is bravely living with congenital heart disease, traveled from Jonesborough to experience the beauty of Sequoia National Park with his family. 🌲🏞️ From exploring the mighty General Sherman Tree and Giant Forest Grove to visiting Tokopah Falls, the local children’s museum, and even the Pacific Ocean, this wish was filled with unforgettable moments.

Callum loves the outdoors, mini adventures, and spending time with his family—making this trip the perfect reflection of everything he enjoys most. 💫 When he’s not exploring, you can find him playing with his little brother, going on evening walks, learning fun STEM facts, or enjoying Chick-fil-A and ice cream cones—his favorite treats! 🍦

In the words of his mom: “There are no words for how beautiful this trip was. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you isn't enough, but we mean it deeply.” 💙

Because of supporters like YOU, wishes like Callum’s come true—and create lasting joy for families who need it most.
