You call the foundation and they do whatever paperwork is necessary. They

are wonderful. We are currently waiting on getting our wish granted.

I am sorry, that wasn't very plain. You should call the make a wish

foundation. Not the CF foundation. Make a wish will then get in contact

with your CF doctor to determine your child's eligibility.

Hi there,

The person who said to call the Wish Foundation is right . But be aware

there are several But most use the Children's Wish Foundation. . They

will first contact you , then will send or bring you forms to fill out .

The doc must sign . Certifying there is a catastrophic illness & that

the trip will not endanger the health . They will ask you or the child

what their wish is. it must be the child's wish. so you might want to

talk about it prior to their visit at your home.

They do not take $$ in the major consideration . It isn't like

Medicaid:):) They really have it for all. They must NOT be over 18

years old , so do it now. However , they cant be too young

either..........

Once the paper work is in & doc signs, If they ask if he can predict

how long the person will live. he should say NO ONE can do that BUT it

is a catastrophic illness & they don't grow out of it !! Don't be

skirmish about that question.-Just go for the wish granted !! The Wish

folks will review it, again -generally-not always-, visit & get the wish

on order. They make all the arrangements.

Flights, hotel, spending $$, etc.attraction tickets, etc.

All kids don't want to go to Disney .Some , my granddaughter wanted a

computer for college...They were late in getting back to her , so we all

pooled the cost so she would have it when she went .so they presented

her with $1000 for books & school clothes(which was a godsend !!) She is

in the mountains & it is cold & clothes are expensive.

Her books were sooo expensive. She is getting them at semester changes.

(also trying to get used ones too). ANYWAY..DO IT TODAY .............

LOVE & HUGS, grandmomBEV
