Make-A-Wish South Dakota & Montana Focus on Children with Kidney Diseases
This March, Make-A-Wish South Dakota & Montana is focusing on children with kidney diseases, spreading the word to medical professionals on who qualifies for a wish and how to refer a child. Children between the ages of 2 ½ and 18 years old that have not received a wish from another wish-granting organization and have been diagnosed with a critical illness may qualify. Critical illness is also described as progressive, degenerative or a malignant condition that, despite adherence to the treatment plan, is currently placing the child’s life in jeopardy.
