Make A Wish Foundation of Kansas

We grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions
to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.

   
What Is A Wish?

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.

If they choose a travel wish, we will take care of all of the planning for your special trip. Once the paperwork is signed, your doctor has approved the wish and your dates have been chosen, we will arrange the travel details. This may include flights, transportation to and from the airport, hotel accommodations, spending money and more. You will receive a personalized itinerary before your wish – tailor-made just for you!

Children search the depths of their imagination when they wish to be someone for a day – a fireman, a police officer or a model. Make-A-Wish staff and volunteers will work to ensure the wish child has an exciting, unique, and authentic experience.

Celebrity wishes vary and as are unique as each celebrity.  We work very closely with our National Wish office to coordinate celebrity wishes.  Once we set a date and location with the celebrity for the meet-and-greet, we will take care of all of the arrangements. You will receive a personalized itinerary for your wish a few days before your experience. Rest assured that everything will be taken care of for you, including transportation and travel, if necessary.
