For children diagnosed with critical illnesses, a wish come true can be a crucial turning point in their lives.

Receiving a custom-tailored uniform, a motorcycle helmet, and his very own battery-operated motorbike, the magic of that one wish created a movement. Today, Make-A-Wish has granted hundreds of thousands of life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses across the U.S. and its territories.

Make-A-Wish Northeast New York carries out its impactful work with a dedicated staff of eight.
