Wish Information

Types of Wishes

Every wish is different. And though every child imagines an experience uniquely his/her own, there are some common themes among the requests to Make-A-Wish:

I wish to go...
Some children long to visit a special place like Disneyland, the beach or even a favorite relative.

I wish to be...
Others want to "be" a cowboy, a ballerina, or a circus performer.

I wish to meet...
Meeting a beloved hero or celebrity is a common wish.

I wish for...
Acquiring that special something - computer, new bedroom furniture or even art lessons -also brings joy and comfort to the Make-A-Wish Children.

Timing of Wishes

Most wishes are granted within 6 to 9 months, though in some particularly urgent cases, within hours. Every wish is a unique challenge carried out by the Make-A-Wish network of families, medical professionals, volunteers and donors. Make-A-Wish covers all costs associated with a wish, including transportation, food, lodging and admission fees.
