Where They Are Now

In honor of our 25th anniversary, we have compiled one wish story for each year of our history in Utah. Some of the children have passed away, but still live in our hearts and memories. Some of them are grateful, courageous survivors. Some are even leading adult lives forecast by their wish choices. We are sharing only 25 stories out of 2,500, but they are representative of our work. They create a beautiful chronicle of the power of a wish. We invite you to take a journey back through time by scrolling down the page.

These wishes are made possible becuase of generous donors and volunteers like yourself. We thank you, and ask you to continue to help. Working with you throughout the first 25 years has been great!
