21.01.2022 Were all doing it tough right now. But as COVID-19 continues to cause disruption and distress, front of our minds are the thousands of people who make up the ...Make-A-Wish family, including our wish kids, volunteers and supporters. Were taking every measure we can right now to keep our wish community safe. With much regret we have made the difficult decision to postpone some wishes over the next few months including travel wishes, experience-based wishes and celebrity meet and greets. We'll be in touch with all families on a Wish Journey with us to talk through what this means for them. Most community based fundraising events and volunteer activities are also on hold for the moment. Were heartbroken that we cant make some wishes come true over this period for children who need them. But what we can do is keep wish children positive and focused on the future through Wish Anticipation and showing our ongoing support. We can allow them to be creative, to express themselves and to be children (rather than patients). Our wish team are working at maximum capacity (remotely!) to ensure that each wish child is supported through imagination and creativity while they wait for their wish to come true. And, we remain absolutely committed to ensuring every eligible wish child on our program has the very best wish experience when its safe to do so. When this difficult period passes, Make-A-Wish will still be here to make wishes come true for the thousands of Australian children that need them. But, as our amazing wish suppliers, volunteers and partners get back on their feet, we will need your help more than ever to bring these wishes to life. If youd like to assist Make-A-Wish at this difficult time, visit https://bit.ly/3b69Vx3 to find out how you can help.

14.01.2022 Did you know more than 6,500 children are diagnosed with a life-threatening illness each year? Our mission is to grant wishes and create moments of pure happine...ss and joy for these children, to support their ongoing treatment. While wishes are waiting due to COVID-19, childhood illness is not. With 700 kids counting on us right now, we can still give the brightest of days to families who's situations won't ease when Government restrictions do. Right now, every donation matters and every dollar counts. Make a life-changing donation NOW.

14.01.2022 2020 was an amazing year of inspirational wishes for seriously ill children across Australia! Even before COVID-19 began, many wish children faced months of iso...lation as a result of their medical treatment. Make-A-Wish now has more than 800 critically ill kids on a Wish Journey, and for some, every extra day they wait feels like a lifetime. Your donation helps to create wish anticipation, helping a child to have fun rather than focusing on their treatment. Give the gift of hope. Donate Now.
