Bringing People Together By Creating Inclusive Environments

Three workers are installing or repairing a vending machine in a tiled room. One person is crouching and working at the base, while two others are standing and working on the upper part of the machine.

The room has tiled walls, some construction or renovation work ongoing, with plastic covering parts of the wall and an emergency stop button on the floor.

Willow’s Wish brings people together by helping create inclusive environments in public and private spaces.

We are on a mission to make community spaces more accessible, welcoming, and inclusive for people of all abilities. We believe every person should be able to participate fully, without barriers or stigma, in the places where families gather, children play, and communities come together. Our work began with Willow, but it reaches every family who has ever had to leave early, stay home, or wonder whether a space was built with their loved one in mind.

The Heart of Our Mission

Willow Dail is a bright, joyful little girl born with a rare genetic condition. Early on, her parents Mark and Erika discovered how everyday outings can become daunting when the world isn’t built for children like Willow. From parks without adaptive swings to restrooms without inclusive changing tables, they faced challenges that most families never have to consider. Instead of feeling defeated, Willow’s family turned their experience into hope – and Willow’s Wish Foundation was born.
