Every child deserves joy, but for the 27,000 children in the United States diagnosed with life-threatening medical conditions this year, joy may seem like a destination out of reach.

Send a message of hope to these brave children. »

Fortunately there are organizations like the Make-A-Wish Foundation who work to make the dreams of these children come true.

Sometimes it’s something simple, like 7-year-old Markell’s dream to ride a horse. Other times it’s more challenging, like 4-year-old Gracie’s desire to have a log cabin playhouse. As you can see from Gracie’s smile in the picture to the right, her wish was a great success.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation will grant 5,000 wishes this summer.

Won’t you add to the joy by sending a message to these brave children? »

A child’s health and development during their first few years has enormous implications for their education, lifetime earnings and health in adulthood. But the sad reality is that health coverage for millions of families in America is just too costly.

Clearly, our health care system is broken - especially for children. Take action >>

In the richest nation in the world it is unacceptable that millions of uninsured families can’t afford to provide their children with regular visits to the doctor or dentist.

Fortunately, momentum around health care reform is building - the next few weeks provide an unprecedented opportunity to make critical changes to our broken down and insufficient health care system.

Even with last year’s expansion of CHIP, five to six million children will still be uninsured and millions more underinsured. Congress is drafting health care reform legislation right now - that’s why it is crucial for you to contact your Members of Congress today to let them know that affordable, comprehensive health coverage for America’s most vulnerable is important to you.

Sign the petition today to show support for shoring up CHIP.
