As we kick off Season Two of The Lighthouse Podcast, Chris & Christy sit down with Mary Kate Snider, VP of Mission Delivery with Make a Wish Georgia. She starts by explaining the requirements for a family to receive a Make a Wish journey and the mission behind Make a Wish. In a world of Childhood Cancer where the child doesn’t get many choices, Mary Kate talks about how a main focus of Make a Wish Georgia is to give kids the choice - a choice of an experience they can get excited about. Continuing, Mary Kate explains the referral process and how Make a Wish Georgia gets in contact with families eligible for an experience. She talks about the process of talking with the child about their wish and how they make it a process and full experience not just a transactional experience. She continues to talk about volunteer opportunities and how others can get involved in raising awareness. She ends the episode by talking about what she wishes parents knew about Make a Wish Georgia.
