Your wish.
Someone's answer.
Give what you have. Receive what you need. Connect one-to-one.
Not a Donation Pool
Your WiSh goes directly to a person or organization you choose.
What you give isn't placed into a general donation pool. You can see who is asking, read their request, and choose who you would like to help.
If more than one person requests your WiSh, you can take the time to read each request and learn what they need. People requesting a WiSh are also asked to share how they plan to Pay It Forward. Their story, their need, and their plan to help someone else may help you decide who you would like to grant your WiSh to.
A WiSh can be almost anything meaningful you can offer—an item, equipment, a resource, knowledge, a skill, a service, or your time.
Once you choose, you connect directly with the person or organization you selected and decide together how to fulfill the WiSh. That could be a pickup, delivery, shipping, sharing a skill, giving your time, or another arrangement that works for both of you.
1to1WiSh is the platform that brings the two sides together. The people involved decide what happens next.
One WiSh. One choice. One direct connection.
"What may be unused in one place can be invaluable somewhere else."
1to1WiSh is a newly launched platform — every wish granted from here forward becomes part of a real, growing story, not a marketing number.

Donating and building a community is easier at 1to1WiSh
1to1WiSh is designed to make donating effortless and meaningful. Here are a few everyday moments that become someone's wish granted.
Donate your time
Teach a language, a sport, or a trade. Your skills can transform someone's life.
Donate baby clothes
Have baby clothes you no longer need? Someone out there could use and appreciate them.
Donate during moves
Are you moving and have lots of items that someone can use? Don't let them go to waste.
Donate during remodels
Donate furniture and household items — in California or anywhere in the world — that can find a new home with someone in need.
College
Are you graduating college? Your books, computer, table, and other items can help the next student.
Hospital equipment
Wheelchairs, monitors, unused supplies — surplus medical equipment can be lifesaving in the hands of a clinic or hospital that needs it.
Business surplus
Extra inventory, returned stock, or equipment your business no longer needs can become exactly what a school, shelter, or family is looking for.
Teach something useful
Language lessons, art classes, coaching a sport — sharing what you know is one of the most lasting wishes you can grant.
Pay it forward
Every WiSh Sparks the Next One
Someone helped you. Now you have an opportunity to help someone else.
Give Receive Pay It Forward.
"Giving and receiving are the exact same breath, and where there is always more than enough for everyone."
Once you enter your 1WiSh, consider how you can continue to pay it forward. Every act of generosity sparks a chain reaction of kindness, creating a ripple effect that can ultimately change the world.
Global Reach
One WiSh. One connection. A world of possibilities.
Connecting what is needed with what can be given—for humanity, our communities, and our planet.
Imagine a doctor with medical equipment that is no longer needed in their practice, while another doctor in another country is struggling to provide care without it. 1to1WiSh can help connect what is available with where it is needed.
The same can happen with a school that has extra computers, a business with useful surplus, a family with items another family needs, or someone willing to share their time, knowledge, or skills.
"What may be unused in one place can be invaluable somewhere else."
When we make it easier to find those connections, we can do more than help one person—we can strengthen communities, reduce waste, make better use of existing resources, and contribute to a healthier planet.
Imagine what becomes possible when we all give where we can.
1to1WiSh is a world of possibilities.
