Seeing a wish granted is a desire that everyone has, but granting it is a particular characteristic of a chosen few. This is the ideology of the Make a wish foundation. This simple but powerful belief is the driving force behind the Make-A-Wish Foundation. For children who face the uncertainty of a future, due to their rapidly deteriorating health, a wish is more than just a desire. It's a hope. Hope is what brings us out of the darkest of slums, to keep going. To face a tomorrow. Make-A-Wish is committed to granting the wish of every eligible child. They do this believing that wishes can help sick children feel better, and sometimes when they feel better, they get better. Since the spring of 1980, they have been granting the wishes of children diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. The Make a Wish Foundation has the ability to not only unite a society as a whole and increase awareness of life-threatening illnesses, but it also gives hope to individuals and the community as a whole. The organization's founders, Frank Shankwitz and Scott Stahl, did not initially intend to create what is now one of America's largest nonprofit organizations. They were simply trying to fulfill the wish of their close friend Chris's dying son. Chris, aged 7, had been diagnosed with leukemia and had always wanted to become a police officer. Frank Shankwitz and Scott Stahl raised the funds and support they needed to give Chris a day he would never forget. Chris spent his day as a police officer. He received a custom police uniform, badge, that once belonged to a retired lieutenant and became Arizona's first and only honorary DPS officer. As word spread, more and more people wanted to help make a dying person smile...... middle of paper ......h is not the only organization dedicated to the well-being of children subjected to constant trials. treatments and diseases. Kids Wish Network and the Starlight Foundation are similar organizations that are also committed to improving the quality of life for children who suffer from life-threatening illnesses. The sociological impact of these organizations is particularly relevant when considering a society as a whole. It unites the values ​​of a community and makes it stronger.
