The Make-A-Wish Foundation is appealing for support as it is conducting its annual fundraising campaign entirely online this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The charity, which grants wishes to children aged between three and 17 with life threatening illnesses, managed to realise 56 wishes last year despite the disruption to its fundraising and activities.
Some 75 per cent of childrenâs wishes before the pandemic involved travel to locations such as Disneyland or to meet celebrities, but things had to change last year due to travel curbs. The wishes granted ranged from building a garden play tower to meeting a celebrity online to receiving an electric bicycle and trailer.
