What is a Wish?

If you could wish for anything, what would it be?

Wish granting starts with that one question -- a wonderful and magical question that indulges the imagination and empowers the spirit.

The answer can be as simple as a battery-operated toy jeep or as imaginative as flying like a fairy princess or becoming a superhero. For some unique insights be sure to read some of our Wish Stories.

Our goal is to be a unique part of the treatment process. While doctors provide the medicine, the Make-A-Wish Foundation supplies the magical experience that helps our courageous wish children thrive.

What makes the wish experience even more extraordinary is that it enriches the lives of all involved, from the children and their families, to the volunteers and sponsors, and often entire communities.
