What is a wish?
Our wishes give seriously ill children the chance to do something extraordinary. For many, a wish is an opportunity to do something they didn't think possible when life was difficult. Children's wishes vary from child to child, from being a princess for a day to meeting their hero to spending the holiday of a lifetime with their family – click here to see some of the wishes we have granted. Whatever each child’s wish, we make the experience truly unique and memorable.
What are the criteria for being granted a wish?
To have their wish granted, the child must reside in Switzerland, be between the ages of 3 and 18, and have a serious illness. We contact each child's doctor to determine if they are eligible.
In addition, a child must not have seen a wish already granted by us or by another association; we are able to grant a wish per child only.
We can accept an entry if we receive it after the child's third birthday, or the day before their 18th birthday.
What happens next?
Once the child's medical eligibility is confirmed, our specially trained volunteers will visit the child to determine his or her wish.
Please note that our wish fulfillment is limited to Europe.
Once the child's wish has been expressed, we will contact their doctor again to obtain their approval, confirming that the wish is safe and appropriate for the child's health condition.
Once we have the doctor's approval, our wish granters will contact the family again and begin the magical work of making it happen.
They will stay in touch with the family throughout the organization of the wish.
The magic can begin…..
