Our Mission
A Second Wish By Demetrius is a nonprofit organization based in Tampa, Florida, dedicated to creating unforgettable second wish experiences for children ages 8 to 18 facing life-threatening illnesses. By granting these wishes, we provide renewed hope, twice the joy, and lasting memories for children and their families during their most challenging times.

Featured Wish Child
Olivia
Meet Olivia — A Brave Teen with a Heart Full of Hope
At just 15, Olivia has faced stage 4 Neuroblastoma and a kidney transplant, enduring many challenges along the way. Despite migraines, hearing loss, and memory struggles, her spirit stays strong.
Olivia loves swimming, and her second wish — a massage chair and backyard swing — will bring her comfort and joy. Thanks to supporters like you, this wish is coming true.

Why We Are Unique
Most wish-granting organizations provide just one wish. But for many children facing life-threatening illnesses, their journey doesn’t end there.
Thanks to medical advancements, more children are living longer — and they still deserve moments of joy, hope, and healing.
We are one of the few nonprofits dedicated exclusively to granting second wishes. These meaningful experiences offer renewed strength and lasting memories for children and their families during incredibly challenging times.
Twice the Joy. Twice the Hope.
Help us bring comfort, joy, and unforgettable moments to children still waiting for their second wish.
Donate today and be part of a child’s journey to hope.
Making Second Wishes Truly Magical!
We handle every detail to make each second wish unforgettable. From covering travel, accommodations, and activities to personalizing every moment to fit each child’s unique needs, we ensure families can focus on what matters most: creating lasting memories together. Every second wish is more than a trip or a gift — it’s a carefully crafted journey of joy, love, and togetherness.
Be part of a child’s second wish.
