Children who have reached the age of 2 1/2 and are under the age of 18 who have a life-threatening medical condition i.e., a progressive, degenerative or malignant medical condition that has placed the child's life in jeopardy, are potentially eligible for a wish. The child's treating physician will make the final determination as to whether the child is medically qualified for our services.
American Airlines Something mAAgic Foundation and Make-A-Wish teamed up to grant ten-year-old Patsy Parker’s wish to go to Disney World. Patsy is battling leukemia and has recently undergone a bone marrow transplant. Patsy and her family represented Make-A-Wish® Hawaii on American Airlines 10th Annual Wish Flight. They joined 16 other wish families from around the country at this year’s celebration at Give Kids The World Village in central Florida. Patsy’s wish began with a “bon voyage” hosted by American Airlines, American Eagle and Something mAAgic volunteers curbside at Honolulu International Airport when the family arrived by limousine. Festivities at the terminal included decorations, cheering volunteers, and cake for all departing passengers. There were also festivities upon their arrival in Orlando as the children and their families began their magical vacation.
