Make-A-Wish kids bring back call-in Holiday Wish Line

Back by popular demand, the Make-A-Wish foundation is bringing their Holiday Wish Line back to life for a second year of spreading cheer to callers until the new year.

These six wish kids have pre-recorded all sorts of kid-friendly advice, stories, and funny moments to share with anyone who calls 480-914-9474 (WISH) before Dec. 31:

• Dylon, a 9-year-old with leukemia from Texas, who wished to visit his grandpa Jim for Christmas
• Deon, an 8-year-old bone marrow transplant recipient from West Palm Beach, Florida, who wished to see snow
• TJ, an 8-year-old from Grand Forks, North Dakota, with cancer, who wished to be an astronaut
• Phoenix, a 5-year-old from Katy, Texas, with a respiratory disorder, who wished to be a vet for the day
• Addie, a 10-year-old from St. Charles, Missouri, with a heart condition who wished to be an "outdoor girl" in Alaska
• Antonia, a 14-year-old from Austin, Texas, with lymphoma, who wished to go on a ski trip

How it works: Call the hotline and follow the operator. Select an option from a series of prompts. Then, you'll be connected to a child with the gift of gab.

Donations can also be made online to help the foundation grant more wishes for children around the country battling critical illnesses.

"The Holiday Wish Line was created to give people hope and encouragement during the holiday season," said Leslie Motter, president, and CEO of Make-A-Wish America. "There’s no one better suited to deliver these positive messages than our wish kids whose transformative wishes allowed them to experience the power of hope while battling a critical illness. The Holiday Wish Line allows anyone, at any time, to receive a dose of hope, which can help mitigate feelings of stress during a difficult time."
