Granting Wishes of Texas children battling a life-threatening medical condition is our one and only mission. Working closely with children's hospitals, physicians, child life specialists and parents we are able to grant the Wish of a lifetime to a child in need and in the process create priceless memories for the Wish child and his/her family that will hopefully sustain them during the difficult days that lie ahead. Our most popular Wish is for a family trip to Disney World where they can meet Mickey, Minnie and a host of wonderful characters that will entertain and enchant our Wish children. Computers, iPads and video games are very popular Wishes for our children, as many find themselves isolated due to medical procedures they simply cannot comprehend. It enables them to stay in touch with their family and friends, as well as, keep up with their school work. However, the list of Wishes is as unique as the children we serve. It can be as simple as a Wish to hug a baby cheetah, to be a Prince or Princess for a day, a trip Grandma and Grandpa's house or to meet their favorite celebrity. We encourage our Wish children to submit three Wishes with our goal being to grant the first Wish. However, often a child's first Wish is to be well, an understandable Wish, but one we simply cannot grant so we are then able to move on to the child's second Wish. In addition to our mission, each year we have a holiday party and an Easter event where we are able to celebrate the magic of the season. Our Wish children love joining us for these special events and look forward to them each year. We are blessed to have great community support and often are given tickets to events, restaurants, movies, etc. Because of their generosity, we are able to share these wonderful gifts with our Wish children and brighten their day. Memories made are priceless for these Wish children and their families and can be seen on the smiles on their faces and the twinkle in their eyes.
