Solution

A Make-A-Wish® wish is more than just a gift or a magical day; it's a real adventure, meticulously planned, designed to accompany often heavy medical treatments. Each wish is a unique expression of the child's personality.

Received by volunteers trained in Make-A-Wish® values, it is the fruit of attentive listening, while respecting the privacy of families. Encouraging the child to express his or her wish, to imagine it and see it come to life creates positive experiences and lasting memories.These unique moments foster resilience and help the child adopt a more optimistic outlook on the future.
