The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses, providing hope, strength, and joy by fulfilling their most cherished dreams, such as meeting heroes, going to theme parks, or having special experiences, which helps them and their families cope with traumatic stress and look beyond their illness. Funded by donations, volunteers, and sponsors, they create personalized experiences, often involving the whole family, to improve the child's quality of life and give them a sense of normalcy and possibility.
