Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oregon

Dear friends, family and community members,  

My name is Hadley, a 9-year-old from Oregon City, and I am a 2025 Make-A-Wish Oregon Wish Ambassador!  

As a Wish Ambassador, it is my job to spread the life-changing hope, strength and joy that a wish provides to other local kids and families.

I want to help other kids be happy and inspire them to never give up hope!

My wish was to explore the theme parks in Orlando. I wanted to see the Walt Disney World® Resort and Harry Potter World at Universal Studios. The moment my wish came true, I was so excited and happy! I couldn’t wait to ride my very first roller coaster and fly on a plane. I was ready for a distraction from cancer treatment, but my wish also helped me set a goal. I wanted to start using my prosthetic and walk again.

I’ll never forget riding Space Mountain while screaming and laughing so hard at the same time! My wish gave me hope. It gave me pure joy.

Today, I’m asking you to support me with a donation so we can bring that joy to other kids with critical illnesses. Kids like me, who are battling a critical illness like cancer or heart disease and deserve to dream big and feel the happiness a wish can bring. 

Will you please help me make a difference in our community?

Let’s show other kids in our community what can happen when a group of caring people rally around them to make dreams come true.

Together, we can provide so much hope! 

Sincerely,  

Wish Ambassador Hadley
