The wish is, for the most part, is limited only by the child's imagination.  Make-A-Wish provides the structure, but it's the child's request that determines what Make-A-Wish will do. The majority of wishes fall into four categories:

• Travel - I wish to go...
• Occupation - I wish to be...
• Celebrity - I wish to meet...
• Gift  - I wish to have...

Here is some information about each wish type.
