Make-A Wish Foundation of San Diego, Inc.

Together, we grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. The children we serve are fighting for their lives, and their families are doing everything that they can to help them in their battles. We believe that these children and their families deserve the chance to enjoy once-in-a-lifetime experiences that relieve them of the immense stress that accompanies the treatment of a life-threatening medical condition, and produce positive, hopeful mindsets that outlast the illness. The Make-A-Wish Foundation’s wish-granting activities accomplish this by augmenting traditional medicine, impacting each child’s emotional state and the family unit – the child’s primary support structure. By granting the child’s one heartfelt wish, and involving the entire immediate family in the process, we re-empower the child to fight his/her illness and energize the family – and the community – to support the child.
