Make A Wish Foundation of India
From Mumbai ( Maharashtra )
For a child suffering from a life-threatening illness life becomes a daily battle for survival,painful treatment, medication and endless rounds of hospitals. Doctors believe that ‘Treatment for a child is holistic – there is need for laughter & hope along with treatment & medicines.’ Doctors have often reported an improvement in the child’s physical condition, after the fulfillment of his / her dearest wish. The fulfillment of the most cherished wish of a child can give back what a sickness takes away – strength, hope and joy and actually have a therapeutic effect.
