Quad City families are stepping up to make wishes for area children come true.
Dozens of people made their way to Bettendorf for the Make-a-Wish Iowa fundraiser gala.
Organizers are helping raise money to grant children’s wishes; some they say can cost thousands to make happen.
Families with wish children were in attendance as well.
They say it’s important to have the support of the community.
“It’s important for for people to know what all goes into it and how special they make it for the kids,” said mother Kayleigh Galliart. Her daughter was among some of the wish kids in attendance.
“I mean, there’s a lot that she’s gone through and a lot that we have to plan for and everything and this was just completely stress free and all about Isla and just a magical time for our whole family.”
