Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.\\People like you help Make-A-Wish® bring lasting, positive change into the lives of kids with critical illnesses. Your support makes it possible for us to grant their wishes, giving them a reason to stay strong through treatments and to believe in the promise of a better future.\\Wishes have proven physical and emotional benefits that can give children with critical illnesses a higher chance of survival. And wishes not only help these children – they also have far-reaching, positive impacts on their families and communities.\\Founded in 1986, our chapter serves children in 16 Counties across Southwestern Ontario: Brant, Bruce, Dufferin, Elgin, Essex, Grey, Haldimand, Huron, Kent, Lambton, Middlesex, Norfolk, Oxford, Perth, Waterloo and Wellington.\\Along with the national office, eight regional chapters grant wishes to children with critical illnesses from coast-to-coast across Canada. Make-A-Wish® Canada is an affiliate of Make-A-Wish® International, the largest wish-granting organization in the world.\\Every single person who supports us by donating, volunteering or referring a child can be part of our mission.
