Mission
TO PROVIDE TERMINALLY ILL CHILDREN UP TO 18 YEARS OF AGE WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO FULFILL A WISH
About
THE GOAL OF THE HOPE PROJECT IS TO MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE FOR CRITICALLY ILL CHILDREN IN MONTANA. THE CONDITIONS THE CHILDREN FACE TYPICALLY REQUIRE MEDICAL INTERVENTION AND PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND FINANCIALLY DRAIN THE CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE AVERAGE WISH GRANTED COSTS ABOUT $8,800, AND THE MOST REQUESTED WISH IS A TRIP TO WALT DISNEY WORLD.WISHES OVER THE YEARS HAVE INCLUDED TRIPS TO HAWAII, PROFESSIONAL SPORTS EVENTS, COMPUTERS, SHOPPING SPREES, CAMPING TRIPS, HOT TUBS, VEHICLE RESTORATIONS, CARIBBEAN CRUISES, A HORSE BUGGY, SPECIAL BICYCLES, ENTERTAINMENT CENTERS, VIDEO GAMES, AND DREAM BEDROOMS. WHENEVER POSSIBLE, THE ENTIRE FAMILY IS INVOLVED IN THE WISH. AS A WAY TO FURTHER ENCOURAGE FAMILIES, THE HOPE PROJECT ALSO INVITES EACH WISH RECIPIENT AND THEIR FAMILY TO TWO REUNIONS A YEAR. GRANTING WISHES TO MONTANA CHILDREN HAS PROVEN TO BE A REWARDING ENDEAVOR AND HAS HAD A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THOSE INVOLVED WITH THE HOPE PROJECT. GRANTING WISHES, HOSTING REUNIONS AND FUND-RAISING EVENTS OFFER COMFORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO FAMILIES FACING DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES AND BRING COMMUNITIES TOGETHER IN SUPPORT OF THEIR NEIGHBORS. THOSE INVOLVED KNOW FIRST-HAND THE SPECIAL MEANING OF THE SMILE ON A CHILD'S FACE WHEN THEY RECEIVE THEIR WISH.THE ORGANIZATION IS SINCERE IN OUR BELIEF THAT THE LIVES OF CHILDREN ARE PRECIOUS AND SHOULD NEVER BE CUT SHORT WITHOUT THEIR WISHES COMING TRUE.
