Granting wishes to child with a critical illness

The project

ChildhoodProtection
Every 25 seconds, a family learns the devastating news that their child has a serious illness. This moment turns their lives upside down and can hinder the child's recovery, leaving them without hope. Our vision is to grant the wish of every eligible child.

Solution

A Make-A-Wish® wish is more than just a gift or a magical day; it's a real adventure, meticulously planned, designed to accompany often heavy medical treatment. Each wish is a unique expression of the child's personality.

Received by volunteers trained in Make-A-Wish® values, it is the fruit of attentive listening, while respecting the privacy of families. Encouraging children to express their wishes, imagine them and see them come to life creates positive experiences and lasting memories. These unique moments foster resilience and help the child adopt a more optimistic outlook on the future.
