Types of Wishes

Every wish is different. And though every child imagines an experience uniquely his/her own, there are some common themes among the requests to the Make-A-Wish Foundation^®:

I wish to go…
Some children long to visit a special place like Disneyland^® park, the beach or even a favorite relative.

I wish to be…
Others want to “be” a cowboy, a ballerina, or a circus performer.

I wish to meet…
Meeting a beloved hero or celebrity is a common wish.

I wish to have…
Acquiring that special something - computer, new bedroom furniture or even art lessons - also brings joy and comfort to the Make-A-Wish^® children.
