Instead of clouds you are looking up at the ceiling of a hospital room dreaming of a day at a theme park, a hot air balloon ride, piloting a jet, meeting that sports hero or movie star. With your donations, A Child's Wish Association gives these children a time to laugh, smile and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Families of Special Wish children often tell us that the anticipation of the Special Wish is as important as the Special Wish itself. Studies have shown that when a child is distracted, they may forget the pain and discomfort brought on by their illness and treatments. No matter how complex or simple the Special Wish may be, the impact can be tremendous on a child. With your help and involvement perhaps, for a short time, our program can help these children and their families forget the endless treatments and therapy and replace them with memories of a more carefree time... a time when they laughed, smiled and really enjoyed themselves.
