    Pretty messed up that parents would use their kids problem to selfishly make wishes for themselves.

      Even more messed up are the entitled parents who actually *wish* their kids would get life-threatening illnesses just so they can use the kid's wish for themselves. I've heard a lot of them complain about the MAW families getting to skip the lines and waiting times at amusement parks and other places, too.

      Haha before the Make a Wish people came to my house I was dead set on getting a puppy but my dad kept on telling me to wish to go to Disney world. My 6 year old self was so torn up about it I didn’t know what to say until the volunteers asked me and I suddenly blurted out “a dog”. I didn’t realize how fucked up that was until I got older, but I’m happy I went with my true wish :)

    The fact Christopher Nolan was never requested before may have had to do with it. It must have touched him that someone liked him and/or his work so much they wanted to use some of the last time they had on earth to meet him. And he must have then had great chemistry with the family. From his works I can tell he has an eye for the heart.

    I want to clear things up- people who get a wish and ask to meet a celebrity dont always get to, not because the celebrity doesn't want to or because they think their "too good for that" but because sometime they literally CANT. Some occasions they are given a small time frame and just cant make it work, or their agency wont allow it, or other causes. Dont get me wrong, there are plenty of petty, rude, narcissistic celebs that do it bc they just dont feel like it, but not all of them. Always think the best in people, its hard but it helps

    I have a cousin who has muscular dystrophy who was a Make-A-Wish recipient. He asked to go to Skywalker Ranch (where they made and produced the original Star Wars movies). He got to meet the voice of General Grievious (and play with the voice modulator), explore the props department (found the original Yoda puppet and original R2D2 unit), got a bronze Chewbacca bust meant for executive producers, and several articles of memorabilia (sealed Star Wars action figures as well as lightsabers) all signed by George Lucas. There's more that happened, but what's surprising is that Skywalker Ranch is like Area 51; you have to be invited, you can't schedule an appointment. He had an absolute blast and got to experience something very few people get to experience.

My dad somehow got put in charge of keeping Garth Brooks company, and to this day, he claims that Garth Brooks is the nicest celebrity he's ever met (He's met quite a few celebrities, not only in his profession but also in various happenstance occasions - like the time he insulted Larry King).

    I used to babysit for my neighbors in high school, and their young son ended up having cancer. He got to make a wish, and he asked for a dog. His dad had severe asthma and they didn’t have a fence, so Make A Wish built them a fence, a dog house, and got him a puppy that was a breed known for being less allergy inducing and trained to be a service dog for him. It all happened in about two weeks from what I remember. And the kid ended up so happy and with a new friendship that would last for years. Bless that charity, seriously.
    **Edit since this sort blew up: the kid got a poodle mix of some kind, small brown and curly. And after a few surgeries and treatment he went into full remission. I haven’t spoken to the family in a since I moved away, but as far as I know he’s still healthy and still has the dog

      Hi, this seems a bit random but it connects, trust me. My parents own two preschools around Denver, Colorado, and a couple of years ago, they had a kiddo who was diagnosed with DIPG. He was about to graduate from preschool and head off to kindergarten, but he died about two weeks after his diagnosis. It was... absolutely devastating for everybody, especially his parents and sister. Now, every year (possibly not this year because of the virus) they host a 5k in his honor, and all the money made is donated to DIPG research at Children's Hospital Colorado DIPG research. DIPG is such a horrible thing to deal with, and my heart goes out to all the kids that have it and their friends and family. If you'd like to learn more, it is called the Goddard Cares Fall Fest 5k in honor of Luke Morrin. There are also other children who had DIPG represented at the race, such as Ava Coleman, who I also knew, and Piper Waneka. If anyone lives in the Denver/City Park area, I would 100% suggest signing up for the race. There are amazing people there, and it's for a great cause.

    The fact that there is parents out there that do not agree to signing off because they do not want the other parents to have those benefits is something i understand because i know how f***ed up people can be out there and that they won't sign that is just the cherry on the top of the sh*t-tower. It still does not make it any less horrible. The wish is not for the parent to have a grand time, but for the kid that has a chance or 100% chance of dying to spend the last of their time before they die because they need something special because of what they cannot/possibly cannot have like everyone else.

    i don’t want to sound like a crazy twitter stan or anything, but honestly for the a list celebrities with large teenage followings, it’s not necessarily their fault for not being able to individually meet everyone that wishes to see them, and a lot of times it’s on the management of the celebrities to organize these things, and not the celebrities themselves.

      Yeah a quite a few of the wishes go to children who arent necessarily guaranteed to die, but have a high chance, or just dont live very quality lives in general. The make a wish people always go out of their way to put as much extra as they can into their wish though, for example, we wished for my little brother to go to disney world, and we were flown down for free, got recognized at the airport, got to stay at a special place for disabled children on wish trips in Orlando, and got our 3 day pass to disney, as well as a two day pass to universal and a day to sea world. You can tell they're pretty passionate about what they do, its pretty great.

      I have a metabolic/genetic disease and eventually got a transplant and they'd literally been trying to give me a wish since I was six but I couldn't do it until I was thirteen because I kept landing in the hospital. A lot of the time kids don't get their wish until they are at least partially in recovery because otherwise even doing the generic wishes like Disney or shopping sprees aren't possible because they can't grant wishes in the hospital. Because of this the survival rate for wish kids is actually a lot higher than most people assume.

    The little boy I used to take care of, who died when he was 11, got a make a wish before I started working there. He was non-verbal so they let his mother choose. He was way too fragile for Disney and he wouldn’t have gotten anything out of it anyway, being blind and extremely seizure prone. Instead, i think it was four of the Detroit Redwings came to visit him and brought and set up a special swing and an above ground pool. He could no longer use the pool by the time I started taking care of him, but he did get to use his swing on his really good days. They also took pictures with him and signed them. It was one of the few times his mother didn’t complain about how he was treated.

    My little brother was diagnosed with neuroblastoma when he was four. I remember when Make-A-Wish came to our house. My sisters and I anticipated three Disney princesses coming to our doorstep (much to the dismay of my brother who is the only boy in our family) but were a bit disappointed when we got a woman who reminded me a lot of my dentist. My brother REALLY wanted to go snow mobiling, but due to his condition, we were unable to do that, so we went to Disney World instead. We got to go first in all the lines and my brother and I got to fight Darth Vader (that was when I was seven and it’s been like ten years but I still consider it to be the highlight of my life). We got to stay at a village in Florida called Give Kids the World where it was literally like this little cutout from the game Candy Land and we got to eat ice cream for breakfast and swim in the pool and it was all paid for by MAW. Even though Disney wasn’t my brothers first pick, we still had an incredible time there. Thank you so much, Make A Wish!!!!

    This is not about Make-A-Wish but it has something like it. When I was 11 I was diagnosed with both Muscular Dystrophy and Scoliosis. I didn't get any wishes from maw, but I did get some great stuff through the children's hospital that I had to go to several times a week for 3 yrs. Got an autographed game program from the entire Texas Rangers baseball team (this was in 1983-84), also got a autographed photo from the Dallas Cowboys. But the thing I loved the most was a personalized letter from Cowboys head coach Tom Landry.
