Program:

We are always in communication with our wish children and families as we accompany them on their wish journey.

We involve our medical partners (hospitals, doctors, etc.) in the preparation of the child’s wish journey, and share the joy of a wish come true with them.

We rely on our medical partners to help plan the wish in the best possible manner, having regard to the child’s health condition.

Donors:

Where possible, we show the use of the funds to our donors in publicly available documents and/or one-on-one dialogue.

Marketing:

Dialogue is about communicating the right message that is appropriate for each audience; we work hard to provide the right level of content to all our stakeholders.
