Read more about Make-A-Wish® New Zealand:
Make-A-Wish® New Zealand creates hope and happiness by granting the cherished wishes of children and young people (3 -17 years) with life-threatening illnesses.
Imagine having the opportunity to help make a child’s wish come true. Imagine the chance to make a difference in their lives forever. Imagine taking part in that magical moment when their cherished wish is granted, their eyes light up – full of surprise, wonder and sheer delight as their dreams and imagination comes to life! It is that magic that Make-A-Wish® New Zealand seeks to create each day.
Every day New Zealand children are diagnosed with illnesses that deeply impact upon their quality of life and have enormous implications for families and friends. Make-A-Wish® New Zealand gives these children the chance to be a child again, to delight in a special trip to Australia, the glamour of meeting a celebrity, the opportunity ‘to be’ a favoured hero for the day or ‘to own’ an item they truly desire. It’s a small way for each wish recipient to have a special moment to treasure that allows them to live out their wildest dreams.
We cannot add days to a child’s life, but we can add life to a child’s day.
Winning a donation from Sovereign will help us achieve:
Funds raised would quite simply enable Make-A-Wish® New Zealand to grant more wishes to our courageous wish kids! The wishes have large beneficial implications for many kids, their families and surrounding communities who together are going through an incredibly tough journey.
