ABOUT

​

Willie Benjamin started Willie’s Wishes in 2016 as a 4th Grader to provide holiday gifts to children at P4Q at 270 public elementary school in Laurelton, New York.

 

Willie learned many of these kids come from foster homes, high-stress family situations, have special needs, and do not have basic necessities.  Knowing these children do not receive the holiday gifts many of us take for granted, Willie decided to take action and start Willie’s Wishes.

 

Through Willie’s Wishes, more than $10,000 has been raised and more than 150 children have received holiday gifts and clothes since 2016.
