A defining characteristic of a child is their capacity to revel in the moment. Imagine, then, how important good moments and happy memories are to the development of a child who is battling a serious illness. When their treatment is stressful, tiring and painful, the idea of a Starlight Starbright wish can often help to offset this experience.

Starlight Starbright wishes provide a special once-in-a-lifetime experience to children between the ages of 4 -18 who are seriously ill. The enchanting nature of Starlight Starbright's wish process is a multi-step adventure, involving doctors, children and their families. Looking forward to having a wish granted often helps give a family the chance to have fun together outside the rigors of long-term treatment. In this happy place of dreams come true, there are no doctors or social workers, just a child's imagination and a little stardust!

Quotes from Our Children and Their Families

"Thank you starlight - you made my wish come true. It means a lot to me. I loved the cruise it was amazing. They had every thing I loved. I was so excited to go away because we weren't able to go away for a while because I was in the hospital. Me and my family had the best vacation. I even got to go para-sailing!!! It was a lot hotter there than in Canada. I wish I was there right now (instead of at school)!! Thank you again for all your hard work."

Ari (9) (Ewings Sarcoma)
