Starlight Children’s Foundation

Starlight Children’s Foundation mission is to partner with experts to improve the life and health of kids and families around the world. While they do this in a variety of ways the Starlight Wish Lists is amazing. It’s the world’s first technology platform of its kind links donors to healthcare facilities to fund unmet needs and improve pediatric care. Hospitals, clinics and hospices publish their Wish Lists on starlight.org and donors grant wishes for their facility of choice.
