The Holiday Wish Line was created to provide hope and encouragement to those who need it most—something Make-A-Wish kids understand deeply, according to a Make-A-Wish spokesperson.

Facing the challenges of critical illnesses, these kids recognize the transformative power of hope.

Research shows that a wish can help children build physical and emotional resilience as they fight a critical illness. Many former wish recipients report that their experiences contributed to their recovery, even years later.
