Happy Holidays!

We believe that one of the best ways for us to achieve our mission of inspiring and empowering kids to take action is to feature Ripple Kids and their projects and ways that you can help them.

If you are working on a project and need some help getting the word out, reply back to this email and you could be featured in our next alert.

Thank you for your support and have a healthy, happy, holiday season!

Project: Grant a Wish
Ripple Kid:  Calista, 11, PA
Need:  Donations to help her grant a wish
Deadline: December 18th

Hi! I am  Calista Pierce and I am 11 years old. When I found out that my brother  qualified for a wish through Make-A-Wish, I wanted to know all about the  organization. After reading a lot of wish kids' stories, I decided that I want  to fund a wish. I really believe that a wish has the power to cure kids  suffering from life threatening medical conditions. The cost of the average  wish is $3,400.00 and so far, I have raised just over $2,000.00. My goal is to  raise enough money to fund a wish before we go to Erie for the annual Light Up  A Child's Life Make-A-Wish fundraising event on December 18th. I have lots of  crafts for sale or you can make a donation via PayPal on my website at
 www.CalistaCares.com 

Buy a Christmas gift and help grant a wish!

 Please help me grant a wish!  Thank you so much! ~ Calista
