The Make a Wish organization, which helps make the dreams of terminally ill children come true, began in America with the story of Chris. This 7-year-old boy wanted to be a policeman, but Chris wouldn't be growing up. To grant him his wish, his local police force swore him in ceremoniously as an honorary policeman. They made one very ill little boy very happy.

Make a Wish believes that to have a wish come true is enchantment for a suffering child. The fulfillment of a dream can make a child with little left but dreams feel that his life really matters. The magic of it can help him rally, endure less pain, even gain more time. "Sometimes it does. I really believe it," said Patti McAdam.
