Making wishes come true helps kids and their families
NANAIMO – The families of a child with a life-threatening illness welcome any distraction.
The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada is asking for donations to help the many mid-island children seeking a distraction.
Jennifer Peterson, executive director of the Foundations’ B.C.-Yukon chapter, said the wishes depend on the children and they see many for travel.
“Just about three years ago we had a little three-year-old that wished for a bathtub full of candy. Lots of travel. We have a young woman in Nanaimo, in April, will be going to Paris.”
