Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illness 

Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illness.

Founded in 1980, Make-A-Wish is the world’s leading children’ wish-granting organization, having granted more than 615,000 wishes in nearly 50 countries worldwide.

For many wish children, gaming is a vital lifeline. It provides crucial distraction and relief from the roller coaster of boredom and anxiety often experienced during hospital stays. Gaming also helps to keep them connected to friends and family during treatment. Gaming-related wishes are growing and we need the games industry’s support.

Every 25 seconds

A child is diagnosed with a critical illness and becomes eligible for a wish every 25 seconds.

Critical illness steals childhood

A wish gives children the opportunity to look outside their illness and reclaim their childhood.
