Fairy Festivities
A pocket of fairy dust or pink princess crown can take a wish child to a faraway land.
Tech Treasures
From iPads to laptops and gaming consoles, these gadgets can bring excitement and connection.
Furry Friends
Getting up close and personal with your favourite furry friend can bring a child tail-wagging happiness.
Extraordinary Experiences
A wish can ignite a sense of wonder, harnessing inner super-powers and a creative imagination.
How your support helps
When a wish is realised, a child discovers that despite their situation, anything is possible.
Right now, there are more than 900 critically ill children waiting for a wish. You can give the gift of possibility and hope this festive season, creating joy that lasts a lifetime.
Your tax-deductible gift will be put to use where it's most needed, to help make a wish come true for a child facing critical illness.
Make-A-Wish creates life-changing wishes for critically ill children. Our mission is to grant the wish of every eligible child - but we can't do that without your help.
Jackson's Christmas wish
Jackson loves Christmas so much, that he wears Christmas socks all year round and watches The Grinch on repeat! But there’s one big question Jackson has: why doesn’t it snow at Christmas in Australia?
His ultimate wish is for a snowy Christmassy adventure to live out his favourite festive movies. With your help, that's exactly what can unfold for 5-year-old Jackson and his family next winter.
