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
  • the child's parent, legal guardian,
  • a 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 70% of wishes granted are travel related. Frequent Flier Miles are always needed to help grant these wishes. InfoSpot
