Transforming lives one wish at a time.

It is our vision to grant the wish of every eligible child battling a critical illness in Hawaii. Our program is 100% privately funded, and all donations stay in Hawaii to support local wish-granting efforts. 

While we are headquartered in Honolulu, we operate statewide with the help of volunteers and trained wish granters living on all islands. Our Hawaii chapter is among the busiest in the nation, with the privilege of granting over 1,100 wishes per year; coming to Hawaii is the second most requested wish worldwide. Founded in 1982 to host these visiting wish families, we granted our first local wish in 1984 and have been dedicated ever since to ensuring Hawaii’s keiki get referred and see their wishes come true. 

For 35 years, we have established the power of a wish come true and know that wishes truly are good medicine. As of 2017, we have helped more than 15,000 children and their families experience the life-changing impact of a wish.
