Very often we hear about wishes coming true in childhood fairy tales or the commonly cheesy underdog movies, but in reality, do wishes really do come true that often?
To the world’s delight, a foundation has been established in the early-1980s that can grant wishes and was named “Make-A-Wish Foundation”. Their main objective is to grant the wishes of children “diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition”.
To read more about their objective, please visit http://wish.org/about-us.
Some of the most common wishes heard from the children are ones relating to their celebrity crush or their all-time idol. They name it and their wish is granted!
Behind the magic is, in actual fact, busy celebrities who try to cram their schedule with their latest promotional event, movie premieres or even a big screen production however their kindness surpasses these things and on most occasions, the children will have their wish come true.
For 15-year-old Sydney who is diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, she wished to meet Emma Stone. Without doubt, Sydney was able to meet Stone in the busy city of New York! Sydney and her family even got to enjoy a relaxing lunch with the Spider Man actress!
While one 15-year-old got her wish granted by Emma Stone, another had her’s granted by chart-topping artist, Katy Perry! Suffering from a heart condition, Toniann was able to attend the “California Dreams Tours” alongside her mum with VIP seatings! It doesn’t stop there! Toniann even got to meet the one-and-only Katy Perry during her meet-and-greet!
Having over 120 celebrity supporters is truly a significance and an empowering aspect in young children’s lives. From Adam Sandler to Zac Efron, the list continues to expand!
