We serve children ages 2 1/2 to 18 who live in Oregon and Clark County, Washington. In fiscal year 2019, we granted a record 269 wishes to local children.Studies show that a wish improves the quality of life for children. A Wish Impact Study conducted by TCC Group from 2010 through 2011 found that wish experiences benefit children's health, both in the short and long-term. According to the study: • 89% of health care professionals surveyed say they believe that the wish experience can influence wish kids' physical health.• 91% of parents observed that the wish experience increased their child's emotional health.• 81% of parents observed an increased willingness by their wish kids to comply with treatment protocols.
