💜 About Ally’s Wish
Ally’s Wish, Inc. is a Flower Mound-based nonprofit that grants last wishes to young terminally ill mothers with children. Founded in memory of Allyson Hendrickson, we provide wishes in the form of experiences, services, trips, or tangible gifts — each one a lasting memory for the children they leave behind. Each wish averages $5,000, and to date, more than 400 wishes have been granted to families across North Texas and beyond.
