The referral process is the first step in a child's wish.
A wish can provide a magical and empowering interlude in
a terrible and frightening time. Children are energized
by a wishby imagining it, describing it, planning,
and anticipating it. Families tell us that a wish can encourage
a child to see a future to fight for, and then to fight
on, often against tremendous odds, when courage and hope
are flagging.
