GIVE KIDS THE WORLD
The process to be granted a vacation to Give Kids the World Village begins with a wish-granting organization.
​
Families that visit Give Kids the World must be referred by one of the approved organizations or foundations listed on their website. Children ages 3-18 battling a life-threatening illness as deemed by a medical doctor are eligible, regardless of income.
​
A family trip to Disney World remains the most popular wish request among wish-granting organizations, and Give Kids the World has been an incredible partner in making these dreams come true.
Since 1986, Give Kids the World Village has welcomed more than 193,000 families from all 50 states and 77 countries. The Village is made possible by generous donors and community partners, as well as thousands of passionate volunteers who donate their time and talent to make wishes come true.
A stay at the Village is much more than a vacation. During one incredible week, wish families laugh, play, and crate priceless memories together away from hospital visits and medical procedures/ it's a magical week of "YES" where wish kids can experience the simple joys of childhood, and where families can recapture some of the precious moments that may have been missed due to illness.
