Make-A-Wish Ireland aims to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions, to bring hope, strength and happiness

Make-A-Wish Ireland wishes give seriously ill children the chance to do something extraordinary. For many children, a wish is an opportunity to do something they never thought possible when life is tough. Children’s wishes can range from being a princess for the day or meeting their hero, to going on a once-in-a-lifetime family holiday.  Whatever each child’s wish is, they make the experience a truly individual and memorable one and try to include the whole family where possible.
