Wishes, Dreams & Retreats

Retreats

Wish Organizations

The Dream Factory - The second-largest children’s wish-granting organization in the United States. The Dream Factory does not limit its mission to children who have life-threatening illness.   The organization believes children with chronic illnesses and disorders also suffer from substantial emotional and physical pain.  They strive to provide hope and relief from the trauma and corresponding stress and depression that both the children and their families can endure on a day-to-day basis.  Doctors agree that providing a dream can improve the quality of life for these children and extend the life of a critically ill child.

Make A Wish Foundation - grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.

Children's Wish Foundation International - committed to bringing joy and happiness to seriously ill children throughout the world. To date, Children's Wish Foundation International has touched the lives of children in 53 countries, providing a lifetime of memories for them and their family.
