Dear Friends:

Happy Thanksgiving and Holiday Season to all of you from WISH FOUNDATION.

It is that time of the year again.

WISH foundation sincerely would thank all volunteers, well-wishers and donors who contributed the time and money for the success of the foundation in helping the community.

For the past five years, Wish Foundation provided Free prescription eyeglasses, school supplies, reusable water bottles, pen and pencils to school children from several schools in the Phoenix area. In addition, the foundation has contacted all elementary and secondary schools in Phoenix, especially Andersen Junior Hogh in Chandler to help us identify the children who are in need. There are several who are needing personal items and supplies.

Wish Foundation has awarded 27 scholarships in the past three years for students transitioning from high school to college/ university to pursue higher education in Mesa Community College. The awardees are listed on the website: wishfoundationaz,org. We propose to increase the scholarship amount next year. The scholarship awards are made ONLY from the earnings without spending the scholarship endowment funds.

Wish foundation has helped homeless and the needy with temporary shelters, food, clothing, medical help and medical transportation.
