WHEN WISHES COME TRUE

What Our Supporters Have To Say

"In Varanasi, the Arti or diyas reflecting in the river Ganga are beautiful, but at Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital, far more beautiful are the smiles reflecting on our children's faces when Make a Wish makes their dreams come true."

"Just completed a risk assessment with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of India. I worked with a remarkable team of people who are all dedicated to granting Wishes for children with life-threatening conditions in India. It was refreshing to see a team so committed to learning new skills and improving their performances to enable organic growth for Make-A-Wish-India".

"Pure happiness is found in nothing but the innocent smile of a child. Treatment of chronic illnesses can be very difficult and if grant the wish of a child with a difficult disease there is nothing like that. It brings back so much joy, love, happiness and the outcome of treatment is also better so I am all for granting wishes of children."

"The best anyone can do to others is to bring a smile on their face. Make-A-Wish India is doing that by fulfilling the dream wishes of our thalassemia patients. Thank you for bringing happiness in their life. Keep smiling, smile is infectious."

‘Making A Wish’ is a sign of hope … and Make-A-Wish Foundation has kept that hope alive in every smile that they brought on the faces of the wish children during their battle with cancer...!
