The Fairygodmother Foundation, who grants wishes to adults facing terminal illness, recently celebrated seven years of granting hundreds of wishes in 47 states to adults facing terminal illness. The foundation has granted wishes to a range of adults with terminal illness, from a young man in his twenties, battling leukemia, to a mother of three fighting breast cancer. With the generous support of individuals, recreational businesses and corporate donations, The Fairygodmother Foundation has granted nearly 700 wishes in seven years. Of the adults the foundation serves, 80 percent have children. The wishes become a way to leave lasting memories of a happy experience for the families of a terminally ill family member.

The Fairygodmother Foundation started out small, and was only able to grant 19 wishes the first year. The dedicated group behind this foundation prove that a good idea with a mission of making the world a little better place for people in need, can grow from humble beginnings. It is simply a matter of beginning, and working, one step at a time, towards a vision and purpose to make a positive difference.
