This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of UPS. All opinions are 100% mine.
For me the holidays are all about family and making my children’s wishes come true.
I’m lucky that I have the resource to do so and I never take that for granted. It also is what spurs me to want to give gack and help others even more during the holiday season.. I want to make the holidays as magical as possible for my daughters while still remembering how important it is to help others!
For years my daughters holiday wishes have been very easy to satisfy.
They are normally for a new toy or something special for their rooms, but as they have gotten older their wishes have matured too. A couple years ago they started to understand that helping others this time of year feels even better than getting something new for themselves.
One year we even adopted a family and gave them a new computer.
We bought it online (like most of our purchases are made these days) and then we had it shipped directly to our adopted family. Boy would I have loved to have seen the looks on thier faces when that package was delivered!I We always look back at that year as one of our favorites.
Like that computer purchase, every package that ends up on a doorstep started from a wish, and UPSers work tirelessly to deliver everyday wishes throughout the holiday season and beyond. This season, UPS wants to share these magical stories and help by donating $1 to one of their charity partners for every wish submitted up to $100K total donation!Â
That means you can help a charity in need just by submitting your wish!
To submit your wish just post it on Twitter or Instagram with the campaign hashtag #WishesDelivered and it will automatically be submitted. Another option is to go direct to the UPS wish site, http://www.ups.com/wishes and manually submit it there.
Remember that wishes are to be for someone else.Â
Submissions should be selfless and meaningful and made on behalf of another person. Maybe there is a local school that really needs some new books… or a shelter that doesn’t have enough warm blankets? Get creative and have fun with this! The possibilities are endless!Â
Be sure to submit your own wish on Twitter or Instagram by posting your wish with the #WishesDelivered hashtag to help an awesome charity in need!
That sounds like a great thing the UPS is doing. I actually sponsored a family last year, and to know I can help someone else have a happier less stressful Christmas brought me a lot of joy. Time to hit up Twitter & Instagram for #WishesDelivered . Thanks for sharing
This is a great thing. UPS visits our house nearly every single week and delivers happiness 🙂
I’d love to share some happiness with others. I am submitting my wish for somebody close to me.
Sharing happiness with others, now that’s my kind of thing. What a great thing UPS is doing!
Thanks for sharing. This will be my moms first Christmas alone after death of papa. I would love to send her on a vacation so she don’t sit around grieving his absence.
What a wonderful thing that UPS is doing! It makes me really glad that we use UPS all the time.
We have given items to a family at church a few years ago. I wish that I had the means to help a family this year.
Neat program that UPS is doing. Is this their first year or how long have they been doing it?
I wish UPS will do the same here in the UAE, they do have a hub over here. It is a great initiative, a big company with a big heart. Two thumbs up for them!
This is very inspiring, this is one of the reason why I love using UPS.
This is wonderful. Thanks for sharing it with us. I am on it!
What a great program. My only wish is for all of my family members to be happy and healthy.
That is fun that you gave a family a computer. We used to adopt a family each year at my old job for Thanksgiving. It was amazing!
Great initiative by UPS! I’ll tell my relatives in the US to use UPS more often. 🙂
What an amazing initiative by UPS! UPS brings smiles to my face on a daily basis! They are so friendly when they deliver
It’s really amazing how good it feels to give a gift to someone and see their smiling face; I love it!

This is amazing and it is so awesome of UPS for there donation. I think it is awesome of your daughters to be selfless indeed. Kudos to them for sure. Thanks for sharing it is truly a wonderful cause.
Giving forward, or giving back always goes much further than we think. Wishes can be delivered.
