The purr–fect wish! Eidys loves kittens, and her inspiring wish to save kittens was granted just in time for Christmas 😻🎄 As part of Eidys' wish, she met kittens and took them to be sterilized, and a donation was made to a local cat sanctuary.

Wishes have the power to transform lives– not just for children with critical illnesses but for their families too. They can improve well-being and build resilience, offering hope when it’s needed most. Testimonials like these help us understand why 98% of wish children and their parents agree that a wish is important for every child who is living with a critical illness.

Yunus is still waiting for his wish, but you can help us make it come true https://ow.ly/mCNy50UrKp8 While most children are experiencing the joys of the festive season, 9-year-old Yunus is in the hospital for his anemia treatments. Nature is what brings him thoughts of hope and happiness, which is why his wish is to plant trees and explore the forest 🌳 “I want to plant a few saplings every day. I dream of going to the forest to explore” he shared with our Make-A-Wish Türkiye volunteers when they visited him in hospital. With the help and donation of generous supporters like you, Yunus’ wish can come true soon.

Children living with critical illnesses can sadly have many memories of fear and pain. A wish has the power to create happy memories and vital bonding moments for families going through difficult times. This holiday season, you can help us replace fear with hope for children living with critical illnesses 👉 https://ow.ly/I02y50UrMCx
