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.

Minnesota-based wish kid Evelyn saddled up and travelled all the way to Calgary to visit nearby High River, the set of her favourite TV show, Heartland on CBC! 🐎 This starstruck 17-year-old, who was diagnosed with a heart condition, got the chance to rein in her excitement as she watched filming, met the cast and crew, and took in all the behind-the-scenes action of the ranching drama with her family. The unique wish come true was made possible through Make-A-Wish Minnesota and our hardworking team in Alberta. Evelyn, we hope your experience was unforgettable! 💙 #HeartlandFan #HeartlandOnCBC #WishesWorkWonders #SaddledWithJoy

✨ #NeverGiveUpDay reminds us of the incredible journeys and resilience of children like Charlotte. Born prematurely at just 25 weeks, she spent her first six months in the NICU. Later on, Charlotte was diagnosed with a chronic disease and spent the next three years G-tube fed and in hospital beds due to medical complications. Enchanted by fairytales and princesses, she found joy and courage in their stories during her toughest times. At three and a half, Charlotte's special wish to visit a Florida theme park came true, marking a magical first family vacation. 🌈👑 "Words cannot express how magical it was—the impact it had, and still to this day, on our family," says her mom, Alicia. Now nine years old, Charlotte continues to manage her diagnosis with regular medical appointments and testing. Inspired by her wish, she and her family are dedicated supporters of Make-A-Wish® Canada, raising thousands of dollars to help other children awaiting their wishes. 💙✨ #MakeAWishCanada #CharlotteStrong #WishJourney #Inspiration
