Who can make a wish?
Any child between the ages of 2 1/2 and 18 who has a life-threatening medical condition is eligible. The child's physician qualifies them based on their medical condition. The financial status of the family is not a factor.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation^® of Suffolk County works with children and families throughout Suffolk County, New York; there are 68 other Make-A-Wish^® chapters that serve the rest of the country. Call us and we can direct you to the appropriate chapter.

In most cases, family members, friends, physicians, teachers or others who wish to refer a child from Suffolk County call or write the Make-A-Wish Foundation^® of Suffolk County on the child's behalf.

What can I do to help?
The Make-A-Wish Foundation needs the support of the community in a variety of ways. If you know of a child and family who could use the services of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, please encourage them to call or write.

Volunteers are always needed and encouraged to work in various areas of the organization. Volunteers are needed for wish granting, fundraising, special events and office work.
