Deanna Daugherty Make-A-Wish is such a great foundation! I remember when I was a little girl and was diagnosed with having a brain tumor that they sent my family and I to whereever I wanted to go. So, they sent us to Disney World. I end up in the hospital, but it was still an amazing wish of mine that came true. Make a Wish does so much for children; I absoutely love them. :D

Always great to hear from a wish kid! Thank you for writing, Deanna, and reminding people that the majority of wish kids look back at their wish as, not only joyful, but empowering.

Beth Cameron Does a child have to be terminally ill or just have a illness that could cause them to pass away

I think it needs to be known that not all make a wish kids are going to die soon.. my daughter is getting her wish and has a 90% cure rate for ALL or acute lymphoblastic leukemia make a wish is for many kids not just ones that are going to die.Just because a kid is getting a wish does not mean they are close to death.. my daughter is far from dying she is doing awesome..

that is wonderful- it should be a very rewarding experience- I hope I can visit there someday- I'm a wish granter and one of my little boys just returned from there and he loved it- didn't even want to leave to go to any of the parks.

that is awesome- your dog is lucky to have your love! I am a wish granter and my first little boy wanted a puppy and I had just lost my dog and said I wouldn't get another one- and when I was at the puppy store I fell in love with one little guy and soon he was coming home with me!
