GRANT A WISH, CHANGE A LIFE.

For over 12 years, Danielle Gletow has been a passionate advocate for children's rights. In August 2008, she founded One Simple Wish after becoming a foster parent and witnessing firsthand the obstacles, trauma and heartbreak faced by children in the foster care system. Not one to sit by while injustices occur, Danielle decided to create an organization that empowered anyone to make a direct and meaningful difference in the lives of foster children and vulnerable families by granting them simple, personal wishes online. In July 2009, Danielle left her decade-long career in interactive marketing to pursue One Simple Wish full-time. To date One Simple Wish has granted over 6500 wishes to foster children and vulnerable families and has created a network of over 500 social service agencies in 42 states.

On October 2013, Danielle was chosen as a Top 10 CNN Hero among tens of thousands of nominees worldwide.
