Through Katie's Helping Hand, a parent can order a meal from the menu provided in the child's hospital room. The meal is delivered right to the room so that they do not have to leave their child. The cost of the meal (a flat $5.00 fee) is billed directly to the charity, and the parent pays nothing.

"We grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy."

The Make-A-Wish Foundation was founded in 1980 after a little boy named Chris Greicius realized his heartfelt wish to become a police officer. Since its humble beginnings, the organization has blossomed into a worldwide phenomenon, reaching more than 161,000 children around the world.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's® (NCMEC) mission is to help prevent child abduction and sexual exploitation; help find missing children; and assist victims of child abduction and sexual exploitation, their families, and the professionals who serve them.
