To a child with a life-threatening medical condition, a wish is more than just a vacation, a coveted gift or a day of fun. A wish is something magical for a child to look forward to – something besides doctor visits and hospital stays. A wish is the joy that wish parents experience when they see their children smile, laugh and play carefree – perhaps for the first time in a long time. A wish is the strength that medical professionals witness when they treat wish kids who are anticipating their wishes or sharing photos and stories after their wish adventures. A wish is hope that volunteers, donors, sponsors and community members feel in knowing they helped make a courageous child’s dreams come true. A wish is a treasured memory that lasts a lifetime … and leaves a legacy. If you'd like to help, contact Make-A-Wish's West Michigan office and Cara Ontiveros @ 877.631.9474 x 24
