The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.

Description:
Children with life-threatening medical conditions like all children, dream of meeting celebrities, taking trips, or receiving special presents. But their families, coping with the pain and stress of battling their illness, often can't make those dreams come true. The Foundations goal is to provide each child and their family with a wonderful experience - a bright oasis of happiness and normalcy in the midst of a difficult time.

History:
The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Kentucky opened its doors in 2001. We have granted over 200 wishes across the state of Kentucky since our opening, and are set to grant over 70 wishes this year.

Make-A-Wish Foundation of America was founded in 1980 in Phoenix, Arizona. Since this time the Foundation has grown into the largest and most professional wish granting organization in the world with 74 chapters in the United States and its territories, and 28 international affiliates on five continents. More than 120,000 wishes have been granted to children worldwide.
