At the Take-A-Wish Foundation, we believe that no dying child's wish is off-limits. And unlike some of our cowardly competitors, we are not stopped by so-called issues of "liability", "legality" or "morality". A child's dream comes first.
These children need your help to fulfill their final dreams
6 Days Left
Timothy wants to fulfill his dying wish to hunt the last remaining Bengal tiger in captivity with a pitchfork.

Jim used his dying breaths to ask about becoming a "racist car driver." We understood the assignment.

Sophie is a budding scientist who wants to recreate her favorite film for her biology project.
Founded in 1994 by Beverly and Leonard Johann, the Take a Wish Foundation was born from a simple observation: too many wish-granting organizations say "no."
When their nephew asked Make-A-Wish to help him "see what happens when you put a cat in a microwave," he was cruelly rejected. The Johanns knew there had to be a better way.
Today, Take a Wish has granted over 847 final wishes with a 100% fulfillment rate. We don't believe in "impossible." We believe in making dying fun again.
