Who We Are

 A Wish Come True, Inc. ® has been granting wishes to medically qualified children age 3 through 18 who suffer from life threatening illnesses living in Rhode Island and areas of Southeastern Mass. 

 A child’s illness affects the entire family. You can only imagine what it must be like for their parents and siblings to have to deal with the day-to-day hospitals, doctors, surgeries and treatments.  We wanted to give children and their families a chance to set aside the illness, and give them opportunities to do things or go places other children and families experience.

 

Supported by a dedicated Board of Directors, office staff and many hard working volunteers.  The main office is in Warwick, RI.

Now more than ever, A Wish Come True needs your help.  Volunteers are the key to this organizations’ long, successful history of putting smiles on the faces of some very courageous children.  If you would like to become part of making a difference in a child’s life, please contact A Wish Come True, Inc. 

 

 

What We Do

 

Since 1982, A Wish Come True, Inc. ® has been granting wishes to medically qualified children age 3 through 18 who suffer from life threatening illnesses living in Rhode Island and areas of Southeastern Mass.

On October 8, 1982, A Wish Come True was founded as a non-profit 501(C) (3) organization, granting children between the ages of 3 through 18 their most cherished wish.  The mission and goal would be to grant every medically qualified child “one memorable wish.”  A Wish Come True was the first organization of its kind in this area, granting wishes to 12 children in the first year and now averaging 3 to 4+ wishes per month!   

The growth of the organization has been truly remarkable. Wishes range from computers, shopping sprees, pets, bedroom furniture, and trips to Disney World.  Trips also provided to Hawaii, Cancun, Grand Canyon, the Super Bowl, MLB All-Star Game, World Series, Olympics and an occasional celebrity meet and greet.  Every trip includes the entire family!  They need this time together, to set aside their problems and to just have fun, laugh and enjoy each other.  A Wish Come True makes all of the arrangements.  At A Wish Come True we believe in the extraordinary magic of “A WISH”. When medicine and magic work together, miracles can happen! Miracles both large and  small,  from A WISH that  makes a child  smile for  the first  time in  months, to  A WISH that has  the  power  to help a  child  rebound  from a serious  illness.  A Wish Come True with your help is committed to making certain every child who is referred to us receives one quality wish.  A WISH they will always remember and cherish!
