Make-A-Wish Looking for Wishers
1490 NewsBlog
Children with life-threatening medical conditions need the magic of a wish come true. The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia needs your help to find children who may qualify for our magic.Children can be referred by anyone – a parent, guardian, family member or teacher – but are qualified by the child’s physician. Life-threatening medical conditions, which generally qualify children for our services include, but are not limited to, various forms of cancer, heart disease, cystic fibrosis, Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy and transplants. Children with more chronic conditions like cerebral palsy, developmental delays, diabetes, Crohn’s disease or spina bifida, may qualify if their conditions are coupled with other complications and the combination is considered life-threatening.
If you know a child, aged 2 ½ to under the age of 18, who may qualify, please contact the Make-A-Wish office at (814) 938-8888. Referring a child only takes a few minutes, but the memories of a wish last a lifetime. For more of this story, go to 1490 NewsBlog
