Out of respect for the children and families we serve, and out of concern for their privacy, children who may be eligible to receive a wish can be referred by one of three sources:
- Medical professionals treating the child–such as doctors, nurses, social workers, or child-life specialists
- A parent or legal guardian of the potential wish child
- The potential wish child
If a relative or friend makes the initial referral, our process is somewhat different. We do not want to intrude on a family’s privacy and want them to feel comfortable with the wish process. We ask friends and relatives to speak to the family and encourage them to call us directly.
If you would like to refer a child for a wish, contact the Wish Department at (702) 212-WISH (9474). Alternatively, you may use our on-line wish referral form here. Please fill out and fax to 702-367 0301 or email to tammyk@snv.wish.org
If you are not eligible to refer a child, please ask the child’s family to visit our website or contact the Wish Department directly, at (702) 212-WISH (9474).
Healthcare providers may contact Tammy Kerychuk, Wish Granting Manger, for a copy of our medical guidelines to determine a child’s eligibility.
