When you wish upon a star ... or a wishbone ... or a penny ... your dreams may or may not come true. But you know, if a deserving child is the recipient of the Make-A-Wish Foundation the odds are really in their favour. This day isn't just about making a random wish and blowing out a dandelion, it is about making actual reality happen for those who are somehow in need because of a fight against a deadly illness. Watch the inspiring origins of World Wish Day here:
April 29th is the day that inspired the foundation in 1980 and now celebrates the day in gratitude for the donors who make possible the life-changing wishes of a child in need, who may not see another year in his or her life. And it started with how one community came together with this wish ... this one wish ... the unity, spirit, and universal emotion captivated on this day changed many children's short, short lives. Even now, 35 years later ... wishes are still being granted.
