A positive impact on morale

“We make impossible dreams possible. Devon has had the opportunity to talk to famous drivers. The hardest thing is to reunite a child with a significant other. Granting a child’s wish has a fundamental impact on their morale. Several studies say so. It is also something that volunteers and families enjoy. There are families who go into crisis when faced with a child’s illness. Wish fulfilment unites them.”

20 years of granted wishes

“Make-A-Wish of Switzerland and Liechtenstein was founded in Geneva in 2003 and has since granted more than 750 wishes to seriously ill children, often with activities involving the whole family.

On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, Make-A-Wish wants to focus on solidarity and visibility. To this end, various events of all kinds were organised in all regions of Switzerland and Liechtenstein: charity runs, lunches, fundraising evenings, tournaments, concerts, time shops, to name but a few.”
