Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Zealand Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Looking for more information about Make-A-Wish:

Wishes have proven physical and emotional benefits that can give children with critical illnesses a higher chance of survival. And wishes could not only help these children but also have far-reaching, positive impacts on their families and communities.

🎉 We're almost at $30,000!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, we're just shy of reaching another major milestone in our 40 for 40 campaign. That's almost enough to help grant six life-changing wishes for critically ill Kiwi children.

Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to making more wishes come true. If you've been thinking about supporting the campaign, now's the perfect time to help us reach our next milestone💙

A very special visitor stopped by Starship Children’s Hospital this week!✨

Fresh from his Disney On Ice adventure, Mickey Mouse spent time sharing smiles and magical moments with children and families at Starship Children’s Hospital.

For children facing serious illness, moments of joy can make all the difference. Seeing faces light up as Mickey visited patients and brought a little Disney magic to their day was truly unforgettable.

A huge thank you to our friends at Disney and the Disney On Ice team for helping create these special memories, and to the incredible staff at Starship who make magic happen every day!💙

We’re proud to stand alongside Child Cancer Foundation, Canteen Aotearoa, Heart Kids NZ, Kidney Kids NZ and Ronald McDonald House Charities New Zealand as part of the Children and Young People’s Health Collective.

Together, our six organisations support more than 130,000 children and young people experiencing significant health issues, and their whānau, every year.

The newly launched Collective Manifesto calls for practical action in three key areas:

💙 Fairer financial support for whānau
💙 Better transitions from paediatric to adult health services
💙 Appropriate wellbeing and psychosocial support for children, young people and their whānau

By bringing together our frontline experience, we’re calling for meaningful changes that will improve equity, wellbeing and health outcomes for tamariki and rangatahi across Aotearoa.

Kia Orana!

This week we celebrate Te Reo Māori Kūki 'Āirani (Cook Islands Language Week) and the rich language, culture and traditions of the Cook Islands community.

Language connects us to our identity, our families and out stories. At Make-A-Wish Aotearoa, we celebrate the diversity of the communities we serve and the strength that comes from embracing every culture.

Kia Orana e Kia Manuia!

This Matariki, we look to Hiwa-i-te-rangi, the star connected with hopes, dreams, wishes and aspirations for the year ahead.

For wish children and their whānau, a wish is more than a moment. It brings hope, joy and something beautiful to look forward to.

As we celebrate 40 years of wishes, we are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported Make-A-Wish New Zealand over the years. Your kindness has helped bring hope, strength and joy to children and families across Aotearoa.
