Medical care and treatment in the Pacific region is very different in comparison to the developed countries. There are limited resources, and because of the vast geographical spread of the islands, many children spend months away from their families, in hospitals, in order to receive the treatment they need.
Sponsoring a wish means giving a child and family a glimmer of hope and joy, and a short break from the other challenges they face. The wishes are often life-changing - a laptop to keep in touch with family during the long treatments; or a new wheelchair with the latest gear, to make keeping up with friends a little easier.
