We need your help

By making a donation, you can turn the Wishes of our very special children, who suffer from life threatening illnesses, into dreams come true. Every Child's dream is to meet Mickey Mouse and all his fantastic friends. A trip to our specially adapted villa in Florida is a haven. The whole family can bask in the sun, swim in their own pool and recharge their batteries, and for two weeks, just forget about hospitals and treatments. Some of our children benefit from the magic of swimming with dolphins, a life changing experience none of them will ever forget. To swim alongside these magical creatures seems to bring hope and a valuable sense of well being to the whole family. A personal encounter and a kiss from a friendly dolphin seems to be better than any medicine! Laptops, computers, X-Box's, Play Stations, scooters, shopping trips for a new wardrobe and sensory equipment are just some of the Wishes that we made come true. Of course there are always Wishes to meet favourite footballers, pop stars and the great man Santa in Lapland.

Our most difficult Wish was from an 11 year old young man who wanted a bone marrow transplant. He didn't want anything else because without it he would not survive. An emotional appeal from one of our patrons, Sue Cleaver, on GMTV not only brought a successful match for Brad, but also brought offers of donors for hundreds of other children like him. The operation was a success and his courageous fight for life continues. We are very proud that we did not let him down and were able to grant his Wish.

Your donation would be a vital lifeline to support our children through the trauma of diagnosis, treatment, long hospital stays, separation from loved ones and the battle to try and defeat their terrible illness. A dream is a Wish the heart makes. As long as our brave children dream a Wish, we can and will, make their dream come true. Thank you for your time.
