How to Refer a Child for a Wish
Any child between the ages of 2 1/2 and 18 with a life-threatening medical condition may qualify for a wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. To maintain the privacy and comfort of the families we serve, we only accept referrals from three sources:
|
Medical professionals treating the child including doctors, nurses, social workers and child-life specialists
|
|
The child's parent or legal guardian
|
|
The potential wish child
|
All medical information remains confidential and is not disclosed to third parties unless it is required for the wish and consent is obtained by the parent(s) or legal guardian(s). To learn more about referring a child from Alaska, Montana, Northern Idaho or Washington, please contact the Foundation's wish & outreach manager, Spring Tart toll free at 800-304-WISH.
