Dreams Crushed
Fortunately, we are lucky enough to not have to deal with life threatening conditions. We can pursuit our dreams without traffic and are able to do what we want when we want. Imagine having something in your way and you're not able to attempt to pursuit your dreams. For some people that is their case and aren't able to chase their futures. Some kids are dealing with life threatening medical conditions so they don't get the privilege we do. My pal Carl with acute lymphoblastic leukemia is facing that problem right now. (Make-a-Wish)
Carl is a young boy at the age of 11 and was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. (Make-a-Wish)This is a type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow that affects white blood cells. Even when he was diagnosed with this type of cancer it didn’t stop him from attempting to shoot for his dreams. Carl always wanted to become a World War II fighter pilot. It’s something that was special to him and he wanted to reach that goal more than anything. The problem was because of his being diagnosed with cancer he was going to need help from somebody if he ever wanted to reach his dream. That’s where Make-a-Wish kicked in. One of the best charities in the world. Pursuing A Dream You wonder how do they even grant these kids wishes? Well Make-a-Wish is an experienced group so they hire many experienced workers to help the patients and figure out what their wish is. One example is when Make-a-Wish heard about this story and thought they could help Carl out. So while Carl was battling cancer like a rockstar Make-a-Wish was progressing through stages to get carl an experience of a lifetime. So days went on and while Carl was battling it out kicking cancer’s butt Make-a-Wish sent a team out to figure out what his wish was. They figured out what his wish was which was becoming a WWII pilot. So looked over him to see if he was eligible with good health. Ended up he was eligible for his wish so they planned a date and that was set. Carl got to explore a U.S. navy ship for the whole day. He claimed it was the best day of his life because he never thought his dream would come true. This is the process they use for almost all wishes they grant. As you can tell, the way Make-a-Wish works is effective. They’ve helped over 220,000 unsupported patients. About Make-a-Wish Make a wish has been a fantastic program for a long time. Since July 1980 Make-a-Wish has been supporting kids and helping them chase their dreams (Make-a-Wish). Make-a-Wish has been doing a great job while they’ve been a foundation.

They grant a wish about every 38 minutes (Make-a-Wish). In 2012 Make-a-Wish granted a total of 14,000 wishes to kids who were eligible. As you can tell this foundation is always making progress. This charity has helped over 220,000 people across America. This foundation is one of the top charities in the nation. It received an astonishing rating of 86.51 (charitynavigator.org). The way they determine the charity is how the use their money. High numbers mean they use the money they get from donations and fundraisers wisely. This charity needs lots of money because on average about $10,000 is spent on each wish (Make-a-Wish).Over time that's a lot of money if you can do the math, 10,000 x 220,000 which equals the total amount of money they've spent on just granting wishes. If you’re wondering how they grant wishes they use a pretty simple process. They send teams to interact with their patients. They then figure out what the patient's wish is, and from then on they coordinate with the person or a time to go and visit there/them. This is how well Make-a-Wish is doing and how they
