Review for Make-A-Wish Foundation Connecticut, Trumbull, CT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

It was been amazing to work as an intern at Make-A-Wish. Every person in the office is dedicated, hard working, and fully committed to the cause. 100% effort is put into each step of the Wish Granting process from communicating with Medical personnel during the initial stages to organizing the wish itself.
Make-A-Wish also positively affects every person involved. The wish granters, the volunteers, the interns, and most importantly, the wish kids themselves. Make-A-Wish changes lives. I've had the opportunity to meet people from all parts of Make-A-Wish, and no one has remained the same since becoming involved. Volunteers and Staff are changed by the stories they hear, the things they've witnessed, and by the changes that happen in the lives of the Wish Kids whose lives hey have changed. The most clear influence, though, is the affect on the Wish Kids and their families themselves. These wishes give the Wish families hope and a refuge, no matter how brief, from the stresses and horrors of what their children are going through. I've seen the difference these wishes being granted make and it has inspired me, and the other interns, to want to help as much as we possibly can.
Make-A-Wish is an amazing organization that does more than I could have possibly imagined before I began interning there, and even after all of these months, I am still in awe of their work.
