How a Wish Journey inspires

The goal of Make-A-Wish New Zealand is to provide hope and joy to children living with a critical illness throughout the country. The children often face immense challenges as they deal with their illness and often must endure frequent hospital visits. Dedicated volunteers and donors work to grant the wishes of these children and give them the chance to feel a sense of joy and hope for the future. By granting these wishes, we hope to not only bring happiness to these children, but also contribute to their emotional well-being and help them maintain a positive outlook. It is our mission to support and uplift these children, and we are committed to doing so with all of our hearts.

Stages of the Wish Journey at Make-A-Wish New Zealand

Many people can submit a wish application at our Affiliate New Zealand for a child living with a critical illness, including the child themselves, their parents, guardians, healthcare providers, friends, relatives, or teachers. Once someone has applied for a wish, we reach out to the child and their family to determine their eligibility. If they qualify, we arrange a meeting with the child and begin the process of fulfilling their wish with the help of our financial and technical supporters, volunteers, and partnering companies. It is impossible to quantify the happiness and hope that granting these wishes brings to these children.

What are the criteria for eligible children?

Make-A-Wish New Zealand grants the wishes of children aged 3 to 17 years who are living with a life-threatening illness. These children are given the opportunity to apply for a wish and, once their application is received, a physician carefully evaluates their case to determine their medical eligibility for the Wish Journey. Children who meet the necessary criteria are eligible to have their heartfelt wish granted.
