Wish stories
There are children waiting for their wish who need your help
The number of children in the UK who are eligible for a wish has doubled in the last 15 years, and it's set to increase*.
You can help us reach more children with serious illnesses by donating, or by helping to grant a wish in your community.
Scroll down to see some of the wishes we've granted and how they've made a life-changing difference, to help the whole family feel better.
* The report “Estimating Current and Future Prevalence of Children and Young People who would be eligible for the Make-A-Wish Foundation” was published in November 2020 with research by Deborah Gibson-Smith, Stuart Jarvis & Lorna Fraser from the Department of Health Sciences, University of York & by Paul Norman from the School of Geography, University of Leeds.
