Make-A-Wish Suffolk County, NY

Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Since its inception in 1983, the Make-A-Wish? Suffolk County, NY Chapter has granted over 2,800 wishes to local children. In the past year alone, we granted over 100 wishes. Your continued support allowed us to grant the very special wishes of children such as: Alexa, age 14, who wished to go to go to Greece; Amelia, age 17 who wished to meet the goalie of the NHL Montreal Canadien’s, Carey Price; Max, age 7, who wished to meet a Volcanologist in Iceland and Jakob, age 12, who wished to go salmon fishing in British Columbia! The Make-A-Wish Foundation? is the largest wish granting charity in the world, with 62 chapters throughout the US and its territories and 41 international affiliates on 5 continents. Our National office is located in Phoenix, Arizona. To qualify for a wish, children must be between the ages of 2? and 18 and have a critical illness. In fact, many wish kids overcome their medical conditions and go on to lead strong, healthy lives. Wishes are proven to decrease a child's feelings of anxiety or depression as they fight for their health, replacing fear and uncertainty with happiness and optimism.
