Make-A-Wish^® is more than wish-granting, it’s a global movement of transforming lives through hope. Wishes provide what medicine cannot – extraordinary and memorable experiences that allow children to take their focus off the illness and provide a sense of renewed normalcy. In fact, research shows that children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight their critical illnesses, potentially improving their quality of life and producing better health outcomes. Now more than ever, the world needs the hope of a wish.
