The Children's Wish Foundation is a unique Canadaian charity that helps Canadian children, families and comunities by granting the favourite wish of a child diagnosed with a life-treatening illness. With every wish that is granted, it creates moments of joy that ease the pain of a child, give respite to the child's family, and connect healthcare professionals and communities in that burning wish of hope. The Children's Wish Foundation has been granting wishes since 1984.

 

As they approached their 30-year milestone, they have granted the 2000th wish to a child living with a life-treatning illness. Every wish is as unique as the child making it, from finally getting to cuddle with grandparents who live far away to gitting a puck with a favorite hockey player. In the often-painful life of a seriously ill child, these wishes have made a tremendous difference.
