    Learn how to help with 'one simple wish'

    Tonight NBC's Anne Thompson profiled One Simple Wish, an organization that's making a difference by granting wishes to foster children. If you're interested in helping, please visit their website, www.onesimplewish.org, where potential donors can register and search a database to choose the wish they'd like to grant. 

    For more, watch the "Nightly News" story and extended interview below. 

    An organization called One Simple Wish has granted the wishes of more than 3000 foster children, providing a small piece of joy to kids still in need of a permanent family. NBC's Anne Thompson reports.

    Danielle Gletow on what inspired her to establish One Simple Wish, an organization that grants wishes for foster children.

    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.
