What is a Dragonfly Wish?

A LASTING TRIBUTE: A Dragonfly Wish is a way for parents to bring their child’s memory to life through a community driven project that feels meaningful to them. Whether it’s a scholarship, a dedicated space, or an act of service, each wish is chosen by the parent as a way to give back and carry their child’s name forward.

A KEY TO HEALING: Dragonfly Wishes are rooted in the belief that while grief does not end, it can change. Through giving back in their child’s name, grieving parents are gently invited, when ready, to rediscover connection, love, and hope through purpose-filled wishes.
