Grant life-changing wishes
How a Wish Journey inspires
Make-A-Wish Argentina is dedicated to bringing hope and joy to children living with a critical illness across the country. Our team of volunteers and donors work tirelessly to grant the wishes of these brave children, who face unimaginable challenges as they navigate their illnesses.
We believe that the magic of a Wish Journey can have a profound impact on these children, helping them to find a sense of hope and optimism during a difficult time. The experience can be a powerful tool in their healing process, and we are committed to doing all that we can to support them and promote their emotional well-being.
Stages of the Wish Journey Make-A-Wish Argentina
Our Affiliate Make-A-Wish Argentina grants the wishes of children living with a critical illness through a process that begins with receiving an application for a wish. Anyone can initiate this process by submitting an application on behalf of a child who is suffering from a life-threatening medical condition. This can be done by the child, their parents or legal guardians, a healthcare professional, a friend or other relatives.
Once we receive a wish application, we reach out to the child and their family to determine their eligibility for a wish. If the child is eligible, we arrange a meeting with them to discuss their wish and begin the process of granting it. This involves bringing together our financial and technical supporters, volunteers, and various companies to make the wish come true.
The joy and hope that children living with a critical illness experience through the wish-granting process is immeasurable and serves as a source of motivation for us to continue our mission.
What are the criteria for eligible children?
