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.

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.

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!

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!

Bence's wish was a garden playground.

I arrived at the family in the afternoon. Bence was dressed and we went out for a swing. He felt so good that he didn't want to stop.

The playground also has a climbing frame and a slide, which not only gives him the joy of playing, but also helps develop his motoric capabilities.

Last but not least, we put a big smile on the face of another sick child!

Thank you for the support of CHARITIES AID FOUNDATION OF AMERICA, with their help we were able to fulfill Dávid's wish.

Krisztián goes home every weekend because he studies in Budapest. His wish from the Miracle Lamp was a PS5 game console.

I made an appointment with her mother, but Krisztian did not know about it. I visited him on Saturday, the first day of the autumn break, and fulfilled his wish. The surprise and then the joy was huge when he saw the package. Krisztian is a very communicative and cheerful young man, full of plans and he gave me an insight into his everyday life, for that I am grateful.

We grateful our private sponsors, including the students and teachers at the American International School of Budapest, for their support, with their help we were able to fulfill Krisztián's wish!
