Make-A-Wish® Philippines
The sole purpose of Make-A-Wish® Philippines is to create hope and happiness for children and young people with life threatening illnesses.
Make A Wish® Philippines is the first and only non-profit wish granting foundation in the country. We provide children with life threatening illnesses hope for better times and happiness that each child deserves by granting their most ardent wish. Make-A-Wish® Philippines has granted over 700 wishes since our inception in 1999.
Make-A-Wish® Philippines is run by dedicated volunteers, tapped on by the group’s vast network and funded by generous donors. All of the foundation’s funding is used to grant wishes within the Philippine territory.
The foundation is a unique part of the treatment process. With doctors providing the medication and us supplying the magic. With this combination, we heal a certain aspect of the child’s spirit. We strive to create miracles in the lives of children fighting health battles most don’t dare fight. We draw on this strength and we work on making every child’s wish an inspiring reality. All the fulfilled wishes represent a unique, creative and selfless collaboration between the foundation’s volunteers, wish families, medical professionals and donors. Make-A-Wish Philippines provides a structure wherein a child’s wish determines what we will do, making the possibilities endless.
Make-A-Wish® Philippines is a medium for individuals who believe that the ability to help is a blessing. We reach out to children who are afflicted with life threatening illnesses, and the result is an unforgettable experience that is infused with hope and happiness which strengthens the spirit of the “wish child” and his or her family.
In Make-A-Wish® Philippines we believe that life is not measured by time but by happy memories.
