Christmas is just 13 days away and this holiday season Wishing Star is asking the community to help give a little joy to those in need!

Wishing Star is a non-profit organization that grants wishes for kids battling life-threatening illnesses. Each holiday season, they help their wish families have a bright Christmas by giving them presents and gift cards. However, this year the need is greater than ever before. 46 wish families have asked for help during the holidays, which is the highest number Wishing Star has ever seen.

"Wish families have extraordinary circumstances that provide more obstacles during the Holidays than most people. Whether the parents can't work because of the high needs of the child, medical bills are too overwhelming, or they've just hit hard times, some wish families struggle to put gifts under the tree," the organization said.

If you want to donate, please contact Sarah with Wishing Star at 509-744-3411 or email her at sarahc@wishingstar.org.

You've survived Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. What could possibly be next?  Giving Tuesday!

This day is not about gifts for friends or family, it's all about spreading the love to those less fortunate.  

West Valley's DECA Chapter is working on a community service project titled “Help Us Light Our Star” to raise awareness and funds for Spokane Fantasy Flight.

For 14 years, Spokane Fantasy Flight, a 501(c) 3 nonprofit, has provided underprivileged children in Spokane, a North Pole experience to meet Santa Claus.
