To grant the wish of every eligible child.
What is Make-A-Wish?
Make-A-Wish is the world’s leading wish-granting organization, creating life-changing wish experiences for children around the world who are living with critical illnesses . A wish can help children build the resilience they need to face critical illness. The experience can be a game-changer that brings joy and a sense of normalcy back into a family’s life. A wish can create an immediate turning point in a child’s treatment and recovery. Our belief in the power and impact of a wish is what guides us and inspires us to grant the wish of every eligible child.
