Assignment #19 Being Charitable


The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Orange County and the Inland Empire is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and fulfill the wishes for children between the ages of 2 1/2 and 18 who confront life-threatening medical conditions. Granting wishes helps these children find the hope they need to transform their life-threatening illnesses into life-affirming triumphs. Formed in 1983, the chapter has fulfilled the wishes of more than 3,500 children. Their mission is to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. 

This charity is very important to me because if I was a child with a life threatening medical condition, I'd want to have a charity that cares about me. Plus I would want that for any child that was in a serious condition. If I was a mother and my child had cancer I'd be blessed that a charity is loving enough to make sure that every child including mine is smiling. 

It breaks my heart to see young children in great pain or very sick with serious medical conditions. To have this charity 'granting wishes' for the kids if something special to them. Whatever is wrong with these children, their life is being put on hold because of their sickness and this organization helps them not only have a smallpiece of their childhood back but helps them feel like a normal child.
