The experience and impact of a wish strengthens the child’s hope and can have a positive impact on their mental health.”
A wish is granted approximately every four days in New Hampshire, and each year, 80 to 90 wishes are granted to Granite State children. Make-A-Wish New Hampshire has granted 2,000 wishes in 37 years.
