Children's Wish Foundation

“When life presents its most difficult challenge, a wish brings hope for tomorrow. The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada is all about bringing wishes to life, and providing families with magical, everlasting memories and experiences. Each wish is as special as the individual child.”

The Process....

Step 1: Referral

Most referrals come from staff at Sick Kids hospital in Toronto. Children between the age of 3 and 17 who are diagnosed with a life threatening illness are eligible to be granted a wish.

Step 2: Medical clearance

In order for a wish to be granted the child must get clearance from a medical physician.

Step 3: Choosing the perfect wish

Once the child selects his or her special wish the Wish Coordinators begin the planning.

Step 4: Granting the Wish

For a child whose wish is about to be granted, the pain and discomfort of the illness becomes more bearable. Thus making this an unforgettable experience!

OUR Group Experience

With Children's Wish

We chose to work closely with Children's Wish Foundation, and learn the process of granting a wish.

Working together with a senior Wish Coordinator, we were granted access to a specific Wish Child. JASEN!

Our involvement included decorating Jasen's Wish Box, following his journey and getting a full understanding of the process of fulfilling a child's wish.
