Ari's Fun-filled Wish
From non-stop high-speed adventures, to going up in a helicopter, to having epic snowball fights, Ari and his family experienced true heights of happiness at Mt Hotham.
“We had an incredible time. No one in the family had been up in a helicopter before, so that was special. And there was no shortage of thrills. He tore down the slopes in his ‘sit ski’, shrieking and whooping – he was even doing jumps!" says Brita.
Children with a critical illness miss out on so much of their childhood. Spending endless hours in hospital, facing countless barriers, they go without so many thrills and smiles. But with your help, we can bring back grins and giggles with the gift of a wish this Christmas.
Give hope this Christmas
When a wish is realised, it’s more than just a moment of joy— it’s a turning point in their journey.
Wishes provide hope and bring families together during the toughest times. By supporting Make-A-Wish this Christmas, you’re giving children the hope they need to keep fighting
Right now, there are more than 900 critically ill children waiting for a wish. You can give the gift of possibility and hope this festive season, creating joy that lasts a lifetime.
Your tax-deductible gift will be put to use where it's most needed, to help make a wish come true for a child facing critical illness.
