Website: Make-a-Wish Foundation of Kentucky
Founded in 1983, this Foundation grants special wishes to children under the age of 18 who have terminal illnesses or life-threatening medical conditions. Although most wishes involve things such as special vacations and trips or meeting celebrities, assistive technology can be provided if it is the sincere wish of the child.
Eligibility Requirements and Application Process
To qualify for assistance, an individual must have a terminal or life-threatening illness and must be less than eighteen years of age. Local “wish teams” are brought together to work out the details of each wish. Make-a-Wish has never turned down a wish for a child who is eligible.
Application information is available on line or by phone.
