Groups make dreams come true for terminally ill children

A child may dream of becoming a firefighter, wish for a Cabbage Patch doll, or hope for a trip to Disneyland when he blows out the candles on his birthday cake.

Then he awaits the time when his wish will be fulfilled. But the child who suffers from a terminal illness may not live to see another birthday and those wishes have a special meaning.

With the help of volunteers, fundraising efforts and donations, several organizations are making the fondest dreams of terminally-ill children come true. Two such organizations are the Brass Ring Society and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America.
