For 35 years, we've created life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses thanks to you.
Wishes are more than just nice. They are necessary. They have proven physical and emotional benefits that can give children with illnesses a higher chance of survival. For some, a wish is an incentive to comply with treatments. For others, it's a distraction from illness.
The pandemic has significantly impacted our mission as many wishes have been postponed, while others are forging ahead, but at higher costs. COVID-safe wishes include camper trailers and home improvement (including bedroom makeovers)-both are more expensive than typical wishes. These increased costs place an unsustainable strain on our resources and cause additional delays as we try to raise more funds to cover them. Your support is critical today so we can quickly grant as many of these wishes now and when the pandemic is over.
