Make-A-Wish Canada creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

We are on a quest to bring every eligible child's wish to life because a wish is an integral part of a child's treatment journey.

Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness.
