Little Wishes

Little Wishes™ grants the immediate and ongoing wishes of chronically and critically ill, hospitalized children to ease their discomfort and bring them moments of joy.

Sometimes real superheroes help small children fight big battles, and the extraordinary individuals at Little Wishes™ do just that!  Founded by two pediatric nurses, the non-profit Little Wishes™ allows seriously ill, hospitalized children to wish for something that will fill their heart and brighten their darkest days.  Each wish provides much needed joy to ease the discomfort of long hospitalizations.

What makes the Little Wishes™ program unique?  All wishes are granted in the hospital, and a child may make another wish 14 days after receiving their first little wishes and every 14 days thereafter!  Recurring wishes improve the quality of life for children enduring rigorous treatments and long hospitalizations of weeks, months and even years.

Little Wishes™ has already enhanced the lives of thousands of children and families (over 23,000 wishes granted and counting!) across a network of 33 participating hospitals throughout the country and hopes to expand its program to support more children in need.
