The Finker-Frenkel Wish House, located in Overtown, is a transformative new facility annually granting up to 600 wishes to children diagnosed with critical illnesses across Southern Florida. This facility reimagines the wish-granting journey by taking children and their families through a hands-on interactive process, providing children with a space to dream.

 

The SEOPW CRA contributed $2 million to support the development of the Wish House, which enhances the experience for wish children and their families and includes community space for neighboring non-profits. This facility is designed to offer support for families, reinforcing the community's commitment to the well-being of its residents.

 

Completing the Finker-Frenkel Wish House is a significant step in creating a positive, lasting impact on the lives of families in the region while fostering collaboration among local organizations.
