Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
About us
Make-A-Wish® creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We are on a quest to bring every eligible child's wish to life, because a wish is an integral part of a child's treatment journey. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, Make-A-Wish is the world's leading children's wish-granting organization, serving children in every community in Canada, and in 50 countries worldwide. Together, generous donors, supporters, staff and more than 1,100 volunteers across the country grant more than one wish per day on average. Since 1983, Make-A-Wish Canada has granted over 38,606 wishes across the country; more than 1,400 last year alone. For more information about Make-A-Wish Canada, visit makeawish.ca.

At just three years old, Gurkeet was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Despite the intense chemotherapy, this vibrant nine-year-old never lost her radiant smile and love for life. When asked what her wish would be, Gurkeet chose a makeover for the room she shares with her sister. Her side of the room now bursts with butterflies, fairy lights, and even a ball pit! It’s a space that truly reflects her creative spirit. 🦋🎨 "She's so delighted," shares mom Mandeep, as Gurkeet spends countless hours in her beautiful new sanctuary. This wish has given her more than just a room; it's given her renewed joy and hope. Drop a ❤️ to show your support and share this post to spread her inspiring story. #MakeAWishCanada #IWishToHave #AMLWarrior #WishWednesday
