Make-A-Wish® Foundation of Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia

Eligibility

The Make-A-Wish Foundation has a mission to grant wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich their lives with hope, strength and joy.  To qualify for a wish, a child:

  • must be older than 2 1/2 and younger than 18 (wishes must be granted before the child's 21st birthday)
  • must live in Illinois
  • may not have had a wish granted previously by the Make-A-Wish Foundation or any other wish-granting organization
  • is diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition at the time of referral.  The child's treating physician is the one who determines whether an illness is life-threatening.

Many doctors tell us that a wish is powerful medicine. The doctors provide the medicine and we provide the magic! InfoSpot
