Unwrap the power of a wish this holiday season
For some children who are sick or receiving treatment, this can be the hardest time of the year. So making wishes come true is even more important!
For a child facing a critical illness, like cancer, imagine the difference a wish could make.
A $100 donation means we can provide a special meal for a wish family. Or $62 per month could cover for a child’s travel costs to see snow for the first time!
“I wish to see snow for the first time!”
This is the wish of Mohamed (8) who lives with a rare blood disorder. When asked what his wish was, he responded without hesitation, “I want to go to Bosnia and see snow. I’ve always dreamed of building a snowman and having a snowball fight with my family.”
It was with the support of people like you that his wish came true, allowing him to forget about illness and simply be a child, lost in the magic of a winter wonderland.
