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.
I wish to fly in a helicopter
Lucas was born with epidermolysis bullosa, commonly known as “butterfly skin” — a rare condition that causes extreme skin fragility, where even the slightest touch can result in painful wounds.

And through it all, one dream stayed with him — to fly in a helicopter.
I wish to have a doll
Even with the challenges life threw her way so early on, Ayla never lost her sweetness. Between the math problems she loved to solve and car rides with Grandpa César, she always found reasons to smile. During treatment, she wished to have a doll.

I wish to go on a Road Trip to Scotland
