Wish Referral
- Who can refer a child for a wish?
Out of respect for the privacy of the children and families we serve, children who may be eligible to receive a wish can be referred by one of three sources:
- Medical professionals treating the child--such as doctors, nurses, social workers or child-life specialists
- A parent or legal guardian of the potential wish child
- The potential wish child
- Who is eligible for a wish?
A child who has reached the age of 2-1/2 but has not yet had their 18th birthday who has a live-threatening medical condition may be eligible for a wish.
