How to Refer a Child
Out of respect for the children and families we serve, and out of concern for their privacy, children who may be eligible to receive a wish can be referred by one of the following people: the child, child's parent, legal guardian, physician, nurse, social worker or child-life specialist. Medical eligibility is based on national guidelines and is ultimately determined by the child's physician.
More than 1,400 volunteers and 38 staff members work to grant the wishes of Illinois children
