Right now, over 134,000 children in the UK are dealing with the gruelling daily reality of life with a critical illness.
When a child is diagnosed with a critical illness, their world comes crashing down. The playground is replaced with a hospital bed. Playing with friends is replaced with relentless medical treatments. Childhood can be replaced with fear.
But a wish has the power to change this. A wish allows a child to dream big, no matter what they are going through.
For a child with a critical illness, every-day life can feel impossible; let alone any dreams. But a wish can make impossible dreams, a reality. A wish has the power to broaden a critically ill child's horizons, giving them respite from treatment and allowing their family to create treasured memories, no matter what the future holds.
