The medical journey of a critically ill child is challenging. A wish offers a powerful form of distraction. It creates and mental and emotional space away from the illness, where the child can focus on hope, excitement, and joy.

More about us

We create life changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We impact around 200 wish children a year, but our vision is to grant the wish of every eligible child. Having a wish fulfilled is life-changing. From the moment a child starts to plan a wish, it gives them something wonderful to focus on which helps them find the strength to keep on fighting. It gives them the boost they need to look to the future and feel hopeful again.
