4,000 Wishes Are Waiting
From Coast to Coast
Wishes are waiting, and every hour three new children are diagnosed with a critical illness. The need for wishes is growing! We know that children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight their illness, and it often marks a turning point in their treatment.
There's is no time to waste.
Join us today!
Did you know over 70% of children’s wishes involve travel? With the pandemic, we had to put travel wishes on hold and many wish kids are waiting for their wish to be granted. We are now granting international travel again and there is no time to waste!

A Turning Point For Kids With Critical Illnesses
Every day, wish kids face extreme challenges. Physical pain, hospital stays, medical procedures, lengthy treatments, and doctor visits are a part of life for a child with a critical illness. It allows families to bond and regain a sense of positivity and hope. A wish is often a turning point in a child’s treatment.
Your Donation Can Help Grant Wishes Today
With the support of our generous donors, we have granted over 900 wishes since October 1st and have granted over 37,667 life-changing wishes since 1987. But we still have over 4,000 children waiting for their wish. That is why the Wishes are Waiting Challenge is so important.
A Power of A Wish
For wish children and their families, having hope for a better day while facing challenging circumstances helps them persevere through lengthy hospital stays, doctor’s visits and painful treatments. A travel wish gives a child renewed energy and strength and brings families closer together.
