Make-A-Wish (GA) Problem Statement

• Creating a real-time communication platform for families across Georgia
• Promoting to families not in the program so every eligible child can make a wish
• Connecting families to support resources in their area
• Current availability of volunteers isn't enough to address the full scope of the task, which is the 900 children in Georgia waiting for their wishes to be fulfilled
