Did you know that children with Cystic Fibrosis are eligible to recieve a wish.....
Children between the ages of 4 and 18 who, in the opinion of a medical specialist, are suffering from a life-threatening illness, may be eligible to receive a wish.
Please note the following:
- Eligible children under the age of 4 may receive a wish box, a selection of age-appropriate toys. If the child is still medically eligible after their 4th birthday, the are able to apply for a wish at that time.
- Children must be under the age of 18 at the time of application, however the actual wish may take place after their 18th birthday.
- Life-threatening illnesses include, but are not restricted to, leukaemia and other childhood cancers, cystic fibrosis, certain types of muscular dystrophy, and cardiac disorders. Medical eligibility is determined by the child’s medical specialist.
- Children who have already received a wish from another wish-granting organisation (eg Starlight Foundation) are not eligible to receive a wish.
