András had a great desire to attend one of the concerts on Destroy Lonely's "Love Last Forever" tour and - just maybe, maybe... - if possible, to meet his favorite artist.

Fulfilling such "meeting" requests is usually very difficult, as most artists' contracts exclude the possibility of such requests. Naturally, we tried this time as well to make it possible for András to see the rapper at his concert in Prague.

The Czech member of the Wish Alliance, our sister organization, Zlata Rybka (Golden Fish Foundation), has very good relationships with many potential supporters within the Czech Republic, and we believed that with their help, we would be able to fulfill this request as well.

András has been a fan of rap music for two years, and besides music, boxing fills his days. Of course, it is also noteworthy that he won a recitation competition, so he also aims to write appropriate rap lyrics for the music he creates himself.

According to him, the concert and meeting brought him immense joy.

We hope that the experience will aid his recovery for a long time.

We thank the Zlata Rybka Foundation, IGPark Logistics and Real Estate Development Ltd., and our private supporters, including the teachers, students, and parents of Thomas Mann Gymnasium-Deutsche Schule Budapest for their assistance in fulfilling this wish.

Anasztázia is a talented teenager. She is interested in sports, music, painting and she is keen on ancient Greek history and culture. Her dream was to visit Athens, where ancient history meets the modern metropolis, where she can see the world heritage sites and feel the Greek way of life.

Even the flight itself was a surprise, as Anasztázia was invited into the cockpit by the captain and given a present on behalf of the whole crew.

From the airport, we took a taxi to the ibis Styles Athens Routes hotel, where we were greeted with authentic Greek hospitality. Despite this, we didn't stay too long at the hotel, but set off to discover Athens. During our walk we could see ancient monuments almost at every corner and took many photos of course. Later we tasted some of the best Greek cuisine (souvlaki, mousaka, baklava) and then visited the Parliament on Syntagma Square where we watched the changing of the guard.

Our second day began with a delicious and rich breakfast, followed by a full day cruise. Our huge ship departed from the port of Piraeus, and after an hour and a half sailing through the Aegean Sea, we reached the charming island of Hydra, with its authentic Greek atmosphere.

We took a long walk, then had a mixed platter of seafood for lunch in a cosy restaurant. After lunch, we visited the island's history museum and then boarded the ship again. We didn't rest on arrival in Athens, spending the evening in the bustling bazaar and the tourist-filled Plaka.

On the third day, the Acropolis awaited us. On the way up, we saw countless ancient monuments and we had a magnificent view. Anasztázia was impressed by the Acropolis, she took a close look at all the sights, obviously enjoying being at this historic place.

At the end of our tour, we enjoyed a delicious Greek meal on the terrace of a restaurant at the foot of the Acropolis, while admiring the famous building from a little distance.

We spent the afternoon and evening in the centre of Athens, enjoying the Greek way of life as we had to return home next morning.

I am sure that Anasztázia came back from this wonderful trip with a lifetime of experiences.

Many thanks to our sponsors, Wizz Air Hungary Ltd.,ibis Styles Athens Routes, IBIS Styles Budapest Airport , Pro Filii Foundation, the Csudapest community server team and Paplovag, and our private sponsors for making Anasztázia's dream come true!

Please read the kind words of Lilien's mother:

"Dear Magic Lamp Foundation!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making it possible for one of my daughter's biggest dreams to come true – to discover the magical Paris.

Lilike was endlessly happy and enjoyed every moment of this wonderful journey.

We visited the city's iconic sites: admiring the Eiffel Tower shining in the night lights, immersing ourselves in the magical world of Disneyland, stopping at the impressive Notre-Dame and the impressive building of the Pantheon. We walked through the beautiful Luxembourg Gardens, marveled at the monumentality of the Arc de Triomphe, and cruised along the Seine river while fully enjoying all the beauty of Paris.

/ 5

This city itself is a miracle, but the greatest miracle for us was Lilike's happy, bright smile. Words cannot describe the gratitude we feel for your contribution to making this all possible.
I believe and know that many years from now, we will return to Paris with Lilike and relive this magical experience once again. With a grateful heart, thanks:
Ivett and her family"

On behalf of Lilien, we would like to thank our supporters, Wizz Air Hungary Ltd, Ayvens Hungary, the Hungarian National Asset Management Ltd., as well as our private sponsors, including Zoltán and his guests, as well as Éva, for allowing us to fulfill Lilien's wish.

Bálint's hobby is football. He is a Real Madrid fan and had a great desire to participate in one of their Champions League matches. Bálint was excited about the trip to Madrid, where, in addition to the match, sightseeing and a stadium tour were also included in the program compiled for him.

Unfortunately, it was pouring rain during the sightseeing, so we mainly watched everything from the car (in addition to the rain, we also had to avoid 2 feminist demonstrations). We walked through the modern part of the city, went to the bullring, had a delicious lunch, and then the stadium tour, which Bálint liked very much.



The long-awaited Real Madrid - Rayo match took place the next day.

The big boy was enchanted by the atmosphere of the match, he said that he felt like he was dreaming, he couldn't believe that this miracle was happening to him.

I am sure that during the trip to Madrid, our 16 year old Real-fan was enriched with lifelong experiences.

On behalf of Bálint, we are grateful to our private sponsors, including Edina and László, and Ibis Styles Madrid Prado, for making his dream come true.

Lénárd, who loves playing football himself, is a big Manchester United fan, and his greatest wish was to watch a Manchester United match live at the famous Old Trafford Stadium.

This wish came true, and not just for any match. Accompanied by his brother, he attended a game where Manchester United hosted Arsenal, the second-placed team in the league, in front of nearly 74,000 fans.

The atmosphere in the stadium was indescribable. The odds were not in Manchester United's favor, so before the match, Lénárd was just hoping that his favorite striker, Bruno Fernandes, would score a goal against the renowned opponent. And that's exactly what happened. Manchester United took the lead through Bruno Fernandes, bringing immense joy to Lénárd. The thrilling match ended in a draw, but Lénárd left the stadium happy nonetheless.

The visit to Manchester, which was also Lénárd's first flight, brought many other exciting experiences, including a stadium tour, a visit to the National Football Museum, and of course, sightseeing, such as viewing the beautiful Manchester Cathedral. And since it was England, fish and chips were a must.

We would like to thank our supporters, the Budapest Marriott Hotel, GroupM Hungary Kft, Jet Travel, and our private supporters, including Tímea and János, for making Lénárd's dream come true.

Dávid approached us with no less a request than to attend a Liverpool match.

Since childhood, he has been a big football fan, and his favorite team is Liverpool, so it was almost natural that he chose them.

When the wish was received, we didn't think it would be so difficult to fulfill. We thought we could simply go to the team's website and eventually buy tickets for Dávid and his father for one of their matches.

Our initial enthusiasm didn't wane even when we realized it wouldn't be that simple. Partly because Dávid needs a disabled access ticket due to his illness, and these seats are limited in every stadium.

We didn't give up even when we couldn't buy tickets after many attempts. To be honest, we almost gave up, but then we had the idea to write to the Liverpool team and ask for their help.

/ 5

Help arrived quickly, a kind gentleman responded to our request in no time and offered his own seat (!!!) and the accompanying ticket.

Words can hardly describe what we felt. The gentleman himself is wheelchair-bound, so he immediately understood what this gesture would mean to the young man.

And what did it mean? Here is the message we received from his mother on the day of the match, which was the most beautiful thank you we could have received.

We are deeply grateful to Mr. Ted Morris for his support, without which we would have faced a very rare, almost impossible wish to fulfill. It was uplifting and touching for both Dávid and us.

We thank Mr. Ted Morris, the Budapest Marriott Hotel, H1 Systems Kft, the management of VakVarjú Restaurant, and our private supporters for making Dávid's wish come true!

Gergő wished for a laptop for himself and had a great desire to get it.

As he said, a laptop is a truly useful present, he can use it for studying, watching movies, and playing online games.

His joy was great when we arrived with exactly the same laptop the boy had been dreaming of!

We are grateful for the support of the CHARITIES AID FOUNDATION OF AMERICA , which made it possible for us to fulfill Gergő’s wish!

Dalma loves watching TV, especially English series, which is also useful for her language learning. She also enjoys watching TV as a family activity, so she was very happy when she received her long-desired smart TV as a gift.

Enjoy your new TV set, Dalma!

Thank you for supporting the Budapest Marriott Hotel , with their help, we were able to bring great joy to another sick child.

Abigail's original wish was to meet the members of the band 21 Pilots. Unfortunately, despite all our efforts, we couldn't make the meeting happen, but we were able to arrange a visit to their concert in Vienna.

Abigail has been a fan of the band for many years and was looking forward to the concert. We didn't know who the opening act would be, but we hoped she would be pleasantly surprised.

The young lady has undergone many treatments, and we were very hopeful that fulfilling her wish would cheer her up and give her strength to overcome the final obstacles.

After the concert, we were happy to see her smiling and visibly enjoying the evening. And as a surprise, in addition to acquiring some memorabilia, with the help of a kind employee of the Wiener Sporthalle, Julia, we also managed to get a concert poster. The surprise was a great success, and the poster will surely find a worthy place.

Dear Abigail, we wish you a speedy recovery and many more concert experiences like this one!

Vencel has two brothers. His parents work in the social sector and in the municipality. Soccer has always played an important role in his life, but he had to stop playing football after the first operation.

Now, at the age of 14, he has completed the soccer referee course and is doing this in his spare time. He likes it very much. He is the youngest football referee in Hungary in the MLSZ Federation!

He had to pause his beloved occupation for a while because he broke his arm, but now he is fine and will be able to resume his referee career in January.

He wished for referee equipments (T-shirt, trousers, warm top and bottom, stem, whistle, flag). He needed several sets, by color.

He was very happy to see the jerseys and equipment.

We wish him good luck with the football matches and hope to see him leading interenational matches later on.

We would like to thank our private donors, including the students and teachers of the American International School of Budapest for their support, with their help we were able to fulfill Vencel's extraordinary wish!
