Make-A-Wish Foundation
Vermont chapter: (802) 864-9393
Capital District / North Country (518 area code): (518) 782-4673
The Make-A-Wish Foundation® grants wishes to children who are living with a life-threatening illness, to enrich the human experience with Hope, Strength and Joy!
If you know a child with a life-threatening illness , please contact us and...Share the Power of a Wish®!
The Foundation, through personal interview with the child, makes sure that it grants each child his or her special wish. In every case, the entire immediate family is included as part of the wish to help create special family memories. The purpose is to emphasize the joy of the wish fulfilled; not the illness. Neither the child nor family is ever asked to pay for any portion of a fulfilled wish.
