How do wishes begin? In 1984 The Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Texas Plains was founded in April of 1984 and in 1991 expanded service to the South Plains area. Since the charter for this chapter originated, they have granted now over 1,200 wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions throughout the 55 counties this chapter serves. They grant wishes to children 2 1/2 years of age to 18 years of age. The wishes begin with a referral from someone like you. Referring a child for a wish is one of the most important parts of helping the Foundation accomplish its mission. They first make sure that there is indeed a life-threatening medical conditions.
There are four elements of a Make A Wish; wish:
- I Wish To Meet - a Dallas Cowboy as an example
- I Wish To Be - a Fireman, Police Officer and so on
- I Wish To Have - simple as I wish to have a bedroom makeover.
- I Wish To Go - most common wish is to go to Disney World.
The average cost to make a wish come true is $7,000. Of the 1,200 wishes granted in this chapter 37 have come from Dumas with one pending now for Kennedi who is 4 years old girl with Hypoplastic which is left heart syndrome.
