Each year, the foundation receives hundreds of wish requests. Like many community organizations, Make-A-Wish is not immune to the ongoing pandemic, which has hindered fundraising opportunities in order to keep fellow Canadians safe.
The staff, volunteers and organizers that power the local Make-A-Wish have been working tirelessly to make dreams come true for dozens of children, including wishes such as:
- A bedroom makeover
- A gaming computer
- A touchscreen laptop
- A Surrey bike
- Filming equipment
- A kayak
- An electric Bicycle
- A Best Buy shopping spree
- A Wacom drawing tablet
- A playhouse
- A hot tub
- A travel Trailer
As the organization finalizes those wishes, there are still many children patiently waiting. Those wishes include trips to places such as Disney World, Dubai and Japan, as well as releasing sea turtles and attending teen tech camp at MIT.
