About Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island

The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a non-profit group that seeks to fulfill the wishes of children with critical illnesses between the ages of 2 1/2 and 18, due to the belief that a wish can be that spark that helps these children believe that anything is possible and gives them the strength to fight harder against their illnesses.
