MAKING WISHES
COME TRUE
A Wish Come True is the oldest wish granting organization in RI and MA. Our Mission is to grant children suffering with a life threatening illness a magical wish. A Wish Come True grants wishes and provides resources to families with a child, 3-18 years of age, living in RI or MA.
