The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a non-profit organization that grants wishes to 2 1/2-18 year old children, who have life threatening illnesses. Their belief is this, "Wishes are more than just a nice thing, a wish experience can be a game-changer for a child with a life threatening medical condition." For some wish kids, just making their wish come true can give them the strength and courage to comply to the medical treatments. Their mission, "We grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy." is a powerful one. One that we can all relate to, wishes. Making kids smile or laugh is one of the greatest feelings, and seeing a child, who is terminally ill, be able to smile and be happy, should give hope to anyone.
