An incredible service for the children who need it most. Thanks for bringing this to light.
Tried to go to the website from the link on the page..and it shows it's not available...Did a search for the site on Bing and the same.
I also thought this was an incredible service. I think the page may have been overwhelmed with the response and crashed. Keep on trying later on tonight or tomorrow.
I saw this story on the news tonight and it's exactly what I have been looking for in a charitable Christmas gift from the children in our family - but I also found the website link to be unavailable. Any help on this is appreciated....
We're working on the site now! Try www.onesimplewish.org/grant, any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at info@onesimplewish.org. Thank you!
No child's WISH should be "a nice suitcase", so moving from one foster home to another will be easier. But, unfortunately, that is what some kids have to deal with. What a fabulous organization! I had trouble getting on their website, but I will...eventually. I want to help and so should everyone who has lived a blessed life!
The website has been overwhelmed with the kindness of everyone! It's SO amazing. Be sure to check out the Facebook page in the interim while the site is down www.facebook.com/onesimplewish
www.onesimplewish.org/grant is up and running! Thank you for your support!
What a wonderful thought for children that are trying to find a place in this big world.
Would like to help.
Would love to have your support! Visit www.onesimplewish.org/grant or contact us at info@onesimplewish.org for more information. Thank you!
Tried to get on their website as well. Guessing it is maxed out after everyone just seeing the story. Will try later.
The overwhelming response is lovely! Be sure to check out One Simple Wish's facebook page though www.facebook.com/onesimplewish
This is a wonderful idea, I think too often the kids in the "system" are allowed to fall through the cracks
and they miss out on so many of the most simple things. I looked at the website and thought it would
be terrific to be able to start something similar here where I live, but there was no link to "contact us"
sure would like have an email or something.

I tried to get on the "One Simple Wish" website, but it's not available. Too bad. I'd like to look into this charity.
Check out their Facebook page! www.facebook.com/onesimplewish
They are working on the website issue... it was overwhelmed by the amazing outpouring of support!
I too also saw a few of the wishes on the One Simple Wish website, then the site crashed. It stated that it was due to an error including capacity overload. Hopefully this wonderful cause is getting lots of attention since being on the news. I will also try again to view in a day or two, what a wonderful way to give to deserving children during the holiday season.
I also will be back to view the One Simple Wish website. Great to hear they are getting so much attention. What a wonderful way to give to deserving children in foster care who do not get the simple things most children take for granted. What a wonderful organization!
Thank you for your interest and support. The link to browse wishes is up and running, also the link to our holiday efforts! Try www.onesimplewish.org/grant or www.onesimplewish.org/holiday.
Thank you for the overwhelming support and generosity. We understand the main website has been overwhelmed as well; however, the link www.onesimplewish.org/grant or www.onesimplewish.org/holiday is up and running! You can also contact us at info@onesimplewish.org.
