What if a child’s wish is planned, and then he/she becomes ill and cannot participate?
Realizing that a child receiving a wish from The Make-A-Wish Foundation could become ill at any time, wishes can be cancelled, postponed and rescheduled if medically necessary. All participants should ensure that there are no conflicts relative to jobs, school schedules or other commitments prior to committing to a wish date because wishes cannot be cancelled for those reasons. If a wish is requested to be cancelled for medical reasons, The Make-A-Wish Foundation will need a corroborating written statement from the child’s physician.
