Refer a Child

Every fulfilled wish represents a unique collaboration between wish families, medical professionals, volunteers and donors. Children who may be eligible to receive a wish can be referred by one of three sources:

• Medical professionals treating the child such as doctors, nurses, social workers or child-life specialists
• A parent or legal guardian of the child
• The child him/herself

If a relative or friend makes the initial referral, our process is somewhat different. We do not want to intrude on a family’s privacy and want them to feel comfortable with the wish process. We ask friends and relatives to speak to the family and encourage them to call us directly.
