Today is Giving Tuesday, and we’re inviting you to be part of something truly life-changing.

Two weeks ago, the 300th child came through our Wild Wishes® program—a milestone that represents hundreds of young lives touched with hope, encouragement, and the healing power of wildlife. Many of these kids have faced deep trauma, loss, or ongoing hardship. Wild Wishes® grants wildlife encounters to hurting children, creating moments of joy and wonder that often open the door to emotional and spiritual healing.

You can donate here.

But Wild Wishes® is only one part of our mission.

For nearly seven years, Higher Calling Wildlife has been leading transformative wildlife expeditions with kids across the country—Colorado, Wyoming, Tennessee, Texas, Arkansas, and Florida. These trips provide powerful outdoor experiences, Christ-centered mentorship, and the chance for kids to encounter God’s creation in unforgettable ways. The mountains, forests, coastlines, and wild spaces we explore become places where hope is restored and purpose takes root.

Watch our mini-documentary on that program here.

We also serve countless youth in foster care through other facets of our ministry, offering support, encouragement, and opportunities many would never otherwise receive.

This year, however, we’re behind on donations compared to recent years. To continue saying “yes” to every child who needs us—and to start 2026 strong—we are asking for your support.

Your tax-deductible Giving Tuesday gift will:

Every donation, big or small, makes a direct impact. You can bring encouragement, hope, and unforgettable wildlife experiences to children who desperately need them.

Thank you for standing with us and helping transform young lives—one wild wish at a time.
