Wish Impact

A turning point for the child’s physical, psychological and emotional well-being

In every life-changing Wish for children with critical illnesses and their families, there are hopes as they start to long for something to happen and make a difference; there is happiness when they find their wishes are realized; there are always what goes beyond our imagination.

Through comprehensive global research, it is proved that Wishes bring positive impact at the individual, family, and societal levels.

Individual: Improving the physical, mental, and emotional health of children with critical illness and their families

Society: Reducing the frequency of hospital visits due to emergency situations after Wishes are fulfilled and thus relieving the burden on public healthcare system

The studies found the wish may help the children with critical illnesses and their families:
