The Make-A-Wish Foundation® was founded in the USA in 1980. Its mission is to fulfill the wishes of severely ill children from 3 to 18 years in age. Whatever the wishes may be, they all have one thing in common – if they are granted, the children gain renewed courage and are able to forget about suffering and illness for a while.

The DDr. Heinrich Foundation® sponsors the granting of specific wishes. In cooperation with the Make-A-Wish Foundation® team, they are able to cut through the bureaucracy and fulfill the children’s wishes quickly.

Sofia’s wish

Dear Make-A-Wish Team,

I really want to say thankyou for the lovely evening in my favourite pizzeria. I am now one of the first Austrian girls who can call the new Galaxy Tab 10.1 her own… the long wait has been rewarded!

The one nice thing that the hard time of my illness gave me was all the wonderful people who I came to know, and that includes all of you too… I am now fully recovered, but there are still far too many children who must still fight their illness… children who I am sure you will make happy too…

Love,
Sofia

Marcel’s wish

In the scope of our Make-A-Wish sponsorship, we were able to grant the wish of our “make a wish” child Marcel. Marcel was severely ill and all he wanted was an iPhone. He and his mother and sister went to a pizzeria. At first he was skeptical when the waiter arrived bearing a big cheese cover. But what a surprise when Marcel found a brand new iPhone in amongst the napkins! With this small contribution, we hope that we were able to bring some joy into Marcel’s life in spite of his hard fate.
