Help seriously ill children believe in magic this Christmas

This Christmas, Make-A-Wish’s newly appointed ‘Head of Magic’ Keith Barry is asking the public to give the most precious gift of all and help grant the wishes of sick children all over Ireland this Christmas by making a donation.

We are encouraging the public to show that they still believe in magic by helping children’s dreams come true.   

2020 has been a challenging year for everyone, and at Make-A-Wish Ireland, we have had to contend with fundraising events being cancelled, and planned wishes having to be rescheduled and re-imagined. 

But we are inspired by our wish children, who deal with uncertainty, isolation and difficult treatment journeys and still hope for the magic of a wish come true - to just be a child for a day. 

COVID-19 has brought significant disruption to our ability to grant wishes, which means that by the end of the year, we expect to have over 200 seriously ill children waiting for their wishes to be granted. Now more than ever, these children need what Make-A-Wish can bring in the form of hope, strength, and joy. We are asking the public to show they still believe in magic by donating what they can.

Supported by SPAR, we are hoping this Christmas appeal will help them grant the wishes of more than 200 sick children who rely on their service and are anxiously waiting for their magical wishes to come true.
