Pelley for a fortunate few, there is the health wagon. Hold your breath for me. Pelley who are these people who come into the van . They are people that are in desperate need. They have no insurance and they usually wait, we say, until theyre train wrecks. Charlie rose billionaires dont usually like to talk about their wealth, but this group has. They and others like them have all pledged to give at least half of their incredible fortunes away to charity a half a trillion dollars, so far. Government has shown, you know, over the past couple of decades that it can no longer solve the great problems of the day. Now, these philanthropists who have incredible wealth, and also the name and the influence, are uniquely qualified right now to solve the huge problems. I am steve kroft. I am lesley stahl.

They cover a broad range. Some children get to meet famous athletes; one had much of San Francisco pretend he was batman for a day. Another chose to jump from an airplane. We wanted to find out what leads to these wondrous moments. Makeawish is a growing organization that spent more than 200 million donated dollars on wishes in 2014.

Hi, Kaden WhitakerKaden Erickson is fighting a deadly type of leukemia. At his interview as a potential recipient, he thought his wish was a long shot. Kaden erickson my number one wish choice is to go to australia. Whitaker folks here make granting the wish a big surprise.

Whitaker kendra street choreographed kadens surprise. When not playing fairy godmother, shes teaching at marmaduke elementary school. Everyone at the school chipped in to pay for kadens wish; many turned out to share the revelation. Kaden erickson i get to go to australia i get to go to australia he was grateful. And he knew what it meant for him and his family. Kaden erickson thank you, everybody. Whitaker kaden had endured two excruciating bone marrow transplants. When he, his parents, and four siblings hit the beach in australia, they hoped hed beaten the cancer. The highlight of his trip . Kaden erickson got to hold a koala. Whitaker did he, like, put his arms around you . Kaden erickson he. It was like a hug. It was about as heavy as a baby. And it would put the claws here and the claws here, and so it was like you were getting hugged by a koala. You kind of get attached to the koalas. Whitaker did it make you forget for a while that you were sick . Kaden erickson yes. It made me feel a little bit normal, more normal than ive been for a while. Whitaker feeling normal didnt last long. Shy kaden learned his cancer had returned for the third time. As we settled in for our interview, his mom jeanne adjusted the medication he needs. Its pumped into his body next to his heart. Youre in quite a struggle with this disease. Kaden erickson there are some bad things in my body that are kind of stubborn. Whitaker i think youre kind of stubborn yourself. Kaden erickson thank you. I think. Whitaker kaden is so stubborn that, after deliberating for a week, he decided to undergo a third agonizing bone marrow transplant. The previous two were so difficult, his parents didnt want to force him to go through it again. How did you make that decision . Kaden erickson would i rather just die or would i have it was a tough decision to make. Whitaker because the therapy makes you feel bad . Kaden erickson it can make me feel bad. It can hurt me. It could do more harm than help, so im just hoping this time it will get rid of it for good. Whitaker kadens wish granter, kendra street, was devastated when she learned his cancer had come back. Street you have an attachment with your kids, and kadens one that ive really attached to. And ive gotten to keep in touch with him, and so, seeing him have to go through that again, its. Its just painful. Hes just a really amazing kid. Lets give kendra a round of applause. cheers and applause whitaker you see, kendra had survived her own fight with cancer. Back when she was in high Makeawish Foundation is sending you to the Atlanta Braves. applause whitaker getting to meet the Atlanta Braves was thrilling, she says, but. Street not to underestimate what my wish was for me, but if i had to sacrifice having my wish to be able to give it to someone else, i would definitely be willing to give it to someone else. Whitaker being the granter of the wish is the better end of the deal. Street absolutely. You get to give that joy. You get to pass it on to someone else. Whitaker the same chapter passed it on to gavin grubbs. He suffers from debilitating muscular dystrophy, and his wish was to meet race car champion joey logano. The day we met them outside charlotte, joey took gavin for a spin. They met six years ago, and have text each other every week. Joey logano can you see anymore . Gavin grubbs i cant see. Whitaker gavin was a groomsman at joeys wedding. It all began back when gavin was eight. Makeawish is sending you to the daytona 500 cheers and applause whitaker at a school assembly, gavin learned hed get his wish to go to daytona and meet his hero. Then, it got better. Logano had flown to arkansas to be part of gavins surprise. cheers and applause gavin may have a serious disease, but, as youll see, he doesnt take himself too seriously. So, gavin, tell me, you are fighting a rare form of muscular dystrophy. Grubbs yes, sir. Whitaker how does it affect you . Grubbs main thing is i dont have the strength of a normal kid my age. Obviously, i mean, im in a wheelchair, but its not all sad because, i mean, youre. When you got a disability, people give you free stuff. laughs people let you do cool things. Im not saying i take advantage of it, but yeah, i take advantage of it. laughter and sometimes i feel a little bad for taking advantage of it, but, you know, its worth it, hanging out with this idiot. laughs its okay, no pressure. Whitaker gavin gives back, too. He helps raise money for new wish kids every year. Grubbs it feels good to help other kids. Logano thats to me is maturity beyond your years. You take advantage of the stuff that comes your way, as you should. But you also, you know, you give back. Whitaker makeawish began back in 1980. Sevenyearold chris greicius, dying from leukemia, told his parents he wanted to be a police officer. Arizona police made him an officer for a day. Are there wishes you cant grant . Matthews the one wish thats the hardest to say, i cant do is, can you make me well . Thats a tough one. Whitaker what does that do to you . Johnson makes you cry. Matthews breaks your heart. Street thank you so much. Thank you. Whitaker years before she became a volunteer, getting well had been kendra streets first wish. At the time, she thought her cancer was fatal. Matthews yes. Johnson she was one of those that her first wish was to make me well, so i want to live long enough for my mom to see me graduate high school. She was a senior that year. Matthews they remind you that the Little Things that we think as adults are so traumatic are so small. I mean, when you think about what these kids are going through they may not see their next birthday. Whitaker kendra saw her next birthday, and since then, 13 more. Her cancer remains in remission. At marmaduke, where she teaches, the whole school takes part in makeawish. Street they just understand the power of a wish. Its just once they saw the first wish granted here, our kids wanted to help give that to someone else. And were a tiny, tiny school thats raised. Last year, we raised 15,000. Thats incredible. It plays a huge part of who our kids grow up to be. Kaden erickson theres a crocodile in there whitaker i dont want to overstate this in any way, but did the trip to australia bolster kadens will to live . Jeanne erickson having australia with him, having those memories, talking about that, it kind of gives him fuel to fight. Kaden erickson sometimes when im sad, i can think of all the happy things i did in australia, and how amazing it was. Whitaker youre not going to let this cancer win. Kaden erickson thank you. Whitaker you saw how courageous kaden was, but unfortunately, this story has a very sad ending. The cancer was relentless. This past september, kaden died.

Hey scott pelley nearly 13 Million People have signed up for obamacare. But many others have been left out. Millions of americans cant afford the Health Insurance exchanges. And for the sake of those people, obamacare told the states to expand medicaid, the Government Insurance for the very poor. But 19 states declined. So, in those states, four Million People are falling into a gap. They make too much to qualify as destitute for medicaid, but not enough to buy insurance. As we first reported in april 2014, we met some of these people when we tagged along in a busted r v called the health wagonmedical mercy for those left out of obamacare.
