How you can help bring childhood back

For children undergoing treatment for a critical illness, they joy of the holiday season is stolen, replaced by anxiety and isolation. Imagine the difference a wish-come-true could make for a child like this.

That’s why we are asking for your help now, to restore lost childhood when it is needed most.

“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.
