The Wish Journey

Whether planning a wish for the perfect birthday party, to feed giraffes or to be an Astronaut,  Make-A-Wish takes each child on a unique and wondrous Wish Journey of anticipation and empowerment.  

Once a wish has been captured, our trained volunteers will carefully plan a wish journey that complements the sick child’s medical regime and long-term well-being. 

In order to capture a sick child’s true wish, it requires patience, creativity and understanding of the child’s condition and family dynamics.  This profound insight is what makes Make-A-Wish unique. 

Details of the child’s imagination is carefully recorded in order to design an extraordinary wish experience  that will stay true to the child’s heartfelt wish. 

While waiting for the best window of time to grant the sick child his heartfelt wish, we take each child on a journey designed to build excitement and empowerment.  This stage of the Wish Journey can be as powerful as the wish day itself. 

When sick children get to experience their greatest wish come true – it’s everything they’ve imagined and more.

Studies show that a wish experience brings incredible and long lasting effect on the lives of children with critical illnesses, their families and their communities.
