How to Get Involved in the Make-A-Wish Foundation
Make-A-Wish Foundation is a US-based organization that grants wishes to children who are facing life-threatening illness. The wish can be anything, for example, spending a day with the US President or something else that a child aged between two and 18 years wants. However, the opinion of the child’s doctor is important to determine if the child is eligible to be granted the wish. This is to avoid unhealthy activities a child might wish for. Overall, the purpose of the program is to enhance life experience of children who have little hope in their lives, otherwise.
