    Little Wishes

    Mission

    Little Wishes™ was created by pediatric nurses who saw how seriously ill, hospitalized children face not only physical pain, but also emotional isolation. These children endure long hospital stays, missing school, birthdays, milestones, and often facing life-threatening diagnoses. Little Wishes gives them the power to choose a wish every two weeks, restoring joy, control, and normalcy in an environment that can feel anything but. Wishes are delivered by the child’s own medical team. Whether it’s a teen celebrating a birthday in the ICU, a patient’s room transformed for the holidays, or a young child receiving a superhero costume to feel brave before a procedure, no milestone is ever missed. Each wish brings comfort and joy in the most challenging times, including at the end of life when we help families create lasting memories and peaceful moments filled with love, along with keepsakes they can hold onto forever. Today, Little Wishes operates in 45 hospitals across 26 states. Since 2003, we have granted more than 33,000 wishes, bringing hope and comfort to children nationwide.
