Wish Stories
We grant 5 types of wishes
I wish to be
Children often imagine stepping into someone else’s shoes—becoming a wildlife expert, a performer on stage, a scientist in a lab, or even a pilot soaring through the skies. These wishes let them experience a role they admire, giving them a sense of hope for the future and pride in who they can become.
I wish to meet
Meeting someone they look up to can be incredibly powerful. Whether it’s a sports star, a musician, a writer, or someone who’s made a difference in their community, these encounters can inspire children and make them feel that their dreams are within reach.
I wish to have
Some wishes are about receiving something special — an item that brings joy, comfort, or creativity. It could be a musical instrument, a set of books, a cosy space to relax, or something they’ve long hoped for. These gifts often become treasured parts of their lives.
I wish to go
For some children, a wish is a doorway to adventure. They might dream of exploring a new city, feeling the ocean breeze on a quiet beach, hiking through mountain trails, or experiencing the excitement of a live event. Whether it’s a journey to nature, culture, or celebration, these wishes offer a chance to discover the world beyond their everyday surroundings.
I wish to give
In a beautiful act of kindness, some children choose to use their wish to help others. They might want to support a local cause, donate to a hospital, or create something that brings joy to their community. These wishes reflect a deep sense of empathy and the desire to make a positive impact.
