Why Wishes Matter
Research shows children who have their wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. This may improve their qualify of life and produce better health outcomes. Our chapter is hoping to grant 330 wishes for children throughout Philadelphia, Delaware & Susquehanna Valley this year. These wish families are your friends, neighbors, and relatives. Children with critical illnesses in your community need your help, today.
