☆ The Organization
Make-A-Wish® Canada creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses because research shows that children who have a wish granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. As a national health charity, Make-A-Wish Canada supports the health and wellness of children and families facing the devastation of critical illness, and we do this through the play-based intervention of a wish.
Since 1983, Make-A-Wish Canada has granted almost 40,000 wishes across the country. As an independently operating affiliate of Make-A-Wish International, Make-A-Wish Canada is part of the network of the world’s leading children’s wish-granting organization. They serve children in every community in Canada, and in more than 50 countries worldwide.
