Pastor’s wish came true
Meet Pastor
Elizabeth, 6, is battling cancer. Her big wish was to design her own clothing like a true fashionista, so Make-A-Wish & Macy's Fashion Office helped her make that happen in January 2020.
We guided her through the process—from inspiration to sketches to the creation of an actual dress that was sold online & in select stores during the holidays. Plus, we treated her to a dress launch party & a billboard in her hometown, Austin.

Make-A-Wish serves local communities across the nation.
Make-A-Wish creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Wishes inspire & have the power to change lives. Wishes help kids look past their limitations, families overcome anxiety & entire communities experience joy. Most importantly, children who have wishes granted can build the physical & emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness.
Make-A-Wish is on a mission to grant the wish of every eligible child, because kids need a wish to give them strength & to help them heal. With the support of Macy’s & its customers, Make-A-Wish can reach more kids & transform their lives.
