   Make-A-Wish® Iowa creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We seek to bring every eligible child\'s wish to life because a wish is an integral part of a child\'s treatment journey. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight their illness. For more information about Make-A-Wish Iowa, visit iowa.wish.org.
