Founded in 2023, Raymond's Wish is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing joy to children facing health challenges at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Our journey began in 2016, when Raymond Luna Jr. inspired us with a heartfelt idea on his 30th birthday: to create a toy drive that would uplift young patients battling cancer. His strength and spirit motivated us to turn this idea into a meaningful mission.
At Raymond's Wish, we believe in the importance of compassion and connection. By collecting and donating toys, we aim to provide comfort and happiness to children and their families during difficult times. Each toy represents not just a gift, but a moment of joy and a reminder that they are cared for.
Join us in our mission to spread smiles and hope. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these brave children.
Our mission is to uplift and support children battling cancer and their families by providing toys and personal necessities. We strive to boost morale, alleviate stress, and create a nurturing environment for families to focus on healing and embracing new beginnings. Together, we aim to foster hope and joy in adversity.
Raymond Luna Jr was a blessing to all who knew him, remembered for his generosity and loving nature. As a passionate history teacher, he connected deeply with his students and went above and beyond to support those in need. As a 7th-grade baseball coach, he invested in uniforms and equipment, ensuring every player felt valued and supported.
While undergoing treatment, Raymond came up with the idea to use his 30th birthday as a toy drive for the children at MD Anderson. On January 6, 2020, at the very young age of 34, our precious son lost his battle with cancer. His family continues this toy drive in honor of his wish, celebrating his legacy of love and support.
