Common concerns

Referring a child can be a difficult step for some parents to take. It is so important to understand two things:

1. Qualification for a wish does not mean that all hope is gone. We grant life-affirming wishes rather than last wishes.

2. Qualification for a wish is not based on a family's financial situation. We know that a catastrophic illness puts a 'fantasy wish' beyond the reach of almost every household-whether from financial or emotional devastation.
