A child is referred to us. There are
several ways to refer
a child.
|
 |
We contact a child's doctor for authorization
that the child meets the medical criteria for a wish.
|
 |
When we receive medical authorization,
we tell the family the good news, and assign two volunteer
Wish Granters.
|
 |
A
team of two Wish Granters arranges to visit the family.
|
 |
During
their visit, the Wish Granters have one very important
responsibility: to help a child identify one heartfelt
wish. They will also find out a second wish (just
in case the first one is not approved by the doctor,
or is one of the few wishes our chapter cannot endorse).
|
 |
Our office contacts the child's doctor
to get approval that the wish is safe and appropriate
for the child's medical condition.
|
 |
Once
we receive medical approval our Wish Granters will
contact the family again and begin the magical work
of making a wish happen.
|
 |
The
Wish Granters will stay in touch with the family as
they plan the wish.
|
 |
With the help of community members,
and sometimes magical intervention, Wish Granters
dream up surprises, seek donations, organize itineraries,
and set dates.
|
 |
On
the wish day itself, the family sits back as the wish
unfolds, often with special joys and serendipitous touches.
