A study on the impact of the Make-A-Wish Foundation

IMPACT is a three part series of documentary shorts on how a wish can transform not only the lives of critically ill children, but also their families, supporters and even entire communities.

Every short film is a story based around one child: Yassir, Madelief and Arnau.

The impact of granting a wish by the Make-A-Wish Foundation is something that gives the wishchildren strength to fight against their disease. Getting their wish fulfilled is not just a fun day out with the family, it what’s makes them believe in hopes and dreams again. Giving them the courage to believe in their own hopes and dreams again.

The impact of a Make-A-Wish fulfillment is noticable on the day itself and even years after the fulfillment. It not only impacts the child itself, it also encourages their families.

In these branded webseries by the Make-A-Wish Foundation we follow around the family of Yassir, Madelief and Arnau and his family about the impact of a wish fulfillment by Make-A-Wish.

Madelief, 20

Had her wish granted 10 years ago meeting her favourite musical star and has been motivated to follow a career into music ever since. We look back at what she has achieved in 10 years and how this has been made possible by the Make-A-Wish foundation.
