Every wish is a masterpiece

The Anthem

When a wish comes true, it creates strength, hope and transformation in a child- and a community.

A wish brings healing beyond medicine. Research shows, and physicians agree - wishes can help improve a child’s quality of life and produce better health outcomes.

A wish offers the power of choice when children experience a devastating illness beyond their control. The wish journey fuels courage, builds resilience and shapes a child and family forever.

79% of adult former wish kids say their wish marked a turning point in their treatment and recovery.

A wish isn’t just nice. It’s necessary.
