Batia Ofer: I first came across Make-A-Wish nine years ago when I attended an event to benefit the foundation. It was completely transformative and I was so moved by each and every child’s unique story. Hearing the impact that these wishes had on their lives, and the happiness and optimism that they create, compelled me to do something. My husband and I were to be married shortly after, so we decided that our wedding gifts should go to the charity. Soon after this, the founder of the branch in Israel – where we were living at the time – asked me if I would get more involved and I've been dedicated to the foundation ever since. Seeing the face of a desperately sick child light up when their dream comes true is a truly priceless moment and I feel privileged to be part of such an amazing foundation.
