Vince (5, Budapest)

When I rang the doorbell, I heard an enormous burst of excited squeals. Mum opened the gate to let the car in and told me that the children had been eagerly waiting for the doorbell to ring all morning, knowing that a volunteer from the Foundation would be arriving with their presents.

When Mum and I carried the two large boxes inside, the children were practically beside themselves with excitement. They immediately started opening the boxes and were amazed at how many wonderful things they had received. They could hardly believe their eyes!

Vince skillfully assembled the Paw Patrol truck, which can be transformed into a dragon and used to carry five cars featuring different characters.

We assembled Mira’s castle together with Mum. Mira could hardly wait for it to be finished, happily playing with the Barbie dolls that came with the toy in the meantime. The castle is almost as tall as Mira herself and has separate living quarters for the fairytale princesses. We found the perfect spots for Ariel, Mulan and Rapunzel.

The children eagerly threw themselves into playing with their new toys. According to Mum, they might even forget about dinner that evening!

Mum and the children are very grateful to the Foundation for the gifts. They can hardly believe that their children’s wishes have come true.

We would like to thank our private supporters, including the students, parents and teachers of the American International School of Budapest. Thanks to their support and generosity, we were able to make Vince’s wish come true!

Kornél Mihály (12, Kiskunlacháza)

Kornél loves playing games, especially in the virtual world, and had long been dreaming of having an Xbox, which would open up a whole new world of gaming for him.

When I handed it over to him, I asked if he still remembered what he had wished for from the Magic Lamp. He happily replied, “An Xbox!” Seeing his smile and the sparkle in his eyes as he unwrapped the box, I knew that this gift had found its way to exactly the right person.

Barnabás (17, Budapest)

Barnabás really wanted to go to London, but unfortunately, due to his illness, flying had to be ruled out. Since he studies German at school, it came up that he would love to travel to Germany, hoping to practice the language a little. The choice fell on Munich.

We traveled in first class on the train to make the nearly 7-hour train ride as comfortable as possible for him. The train passed through beautiful places, so even the journey there was quite an experience.
In Munich, we mostly had beautiful autumn weather, so we were able to explore the whole city.
Barnabás also tried some of the local cuisine after successfully making his way through the German menu. He also really loved the luxury of the hotel, especially the breakfasts; as a teenager, he tried everything. I feel like he had a great time and returned home with beautiful memories together with his mother.

We would like to thank our private donors and GAL SynergyTech Zrt. for helping us make Barnabás’s dream come true.

Special thanks to the management and staff of Elaya Hotel Munich City, Trademark Collection by Wyndham for their generous support and wonderful hospitality.

Bogi, Ádám, Timi, Csenge and Bogi had a long-held dream come true when, on an August day, they had the opportunity to visit the magical world of Disneyland.

The journey was filled with excitement for everyone, as from the very moment of departure it was clear that a truly special adventure was about to begin. The children eagerly awaited the chance to see the magical world they knew from fairy tales with their own eyes, meet their favourite characters, and experience everything they had previously only dreamed of.

Bogi especially enjoyed her time at Disneyland. She was most excited by the scarier, adrena-line-filled attractions, bravely trying some of the most thrilling rides and clearly enjoying every moment. Disney Adventure World was particularly special to her, as it brought the magical world of films even closer. The experiences and exciting attractions there quickly became some of her favourites, making this special journey an unforgettable memory for her.

After two wonderful days spent at Disneyland, we spent our final day in Paris. The beauty and unique atmosphere of the city enchanted everyone, making our Paris excursion the per-fect ending to this unforgettable journey.

Mihály (6, Pécs)


Misi’s wish was to go on a family trip in a motorhome. His mother shared their experience of this dream trip:

“The whole adventure began with an idea from our little boy. When, with the help of the Foundation, we had the opportunity to make his wish come true, we were delighted to set off on our very first motorhome journey. We spent a week travelling around Austria as a family.

We were already very excited before setting off, but we never expected to fall in love with this way of travelling so much.
After a difficult year, being close to nature and experiencing the freedom of travelling by motorhome felt especially wonderful. We could go wherever we wanted, whenever we wanted. The peaceful, relaxed atmosphere of the campsites and the beautiful Austrian scenery all helped us to finally switch off and truly recharge.

We went hiking and cycling, spent time at the beach, took boat trips, and the children welcomed every new place and experience with enormous enthusiasm. By the end of the week, we were certain that this would not be our last motorhome adventure.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the Foundation for making this trip possible for us. We are incredibly grateful for this opportunity.”

Zoé Sára (11, Csorna)


Zoé, Balázs and Patrik's dream was to take a trip to Disneyland.We met the families at Budapest Airport before travelling together to Paris. Immediately after landing, Wizz Air welcomed the children with a very special surprise. They were invited into the cockpit, where they met the pilots and cabin crew, took photos together, and each child also received a special gift. It was a wonderful way to begin this unforgettable journey.


From the airport we travelled by coach to the Disneyland Paris Newport Bay Club Hotel. The hotel immediately impressed both the children and their families. Everyone admired the beautiful surroundings, and from the very first moments the children experienced the magic of Disney with excitement and wonder.

From the beginning Zoé embraced every magical moment of the trip with great enthusiasm. One of the highlights for her was meeting several Disney princesses in person, creating memories she will treasure for many years.

Her favourite attraction was Peter Pan's Flight, which she enjoyed so much that she rode it four times. She also loved exploring the rest of the park, eagerly taking part in every activity and enjoying each magical experience with a huge smile.

On the final day, we visited Paris together and admired the Eiffel Tower, providing a perfect ending to this unforgettable adventure.

Tibor Erik (13, Nagykáta)



Tibi's greatest dream was to attend a Formula 1 Grand Prix in person one day.


He had been a passionate fan of motorsport for many years and was fascinated by the racing cars, the drivers, and the unique atmosphere of Formula 1. His biggest wish was to see the cars up close, hear the roar of the engines, and experience the unforgettable excitement of a Formula 1 race firsthand.

His wish came true when he was able to attend the race together with his father. From the moment they arrived at the circuit, Tibi eagerly watched the preparations and the speeding race cars. It was an incredible experience for him to finally enjoy his favorite sport not only on television but also live at the track, taking in every moment of the race.

Throughout the day, Tibor and his father shared many unforgettable experiences. They cheered for the drivers together, admired the remarkable racing cars, and experienced the special atmosphere that only a Formula 1 Grand Prix can offer.
It was wonderful to see Tibi's excitement and happiness as his dream became a reality.



We hope this special day will remain a cherished memory for him for many years to come and give him strength for the future.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Budapest Marriott Hotel for its generous support, as well as to our private supporters. Together, we were once again able to make the wish of a seriously ill child come true.

Simeon József (17, Pusztadaróc)


Simi is a true Formula 1 fan. There isn’t a single race weekend that he would miss—he follows every Grand Prix, qualifying session, and even the practice sessions on television.

For a long time, he had dreamed of experiencing the incomparable atmosphere of Formula 1 not only through a screen but also in person.

The long-awaited day finally arrived when Simi, together with his parents and younger brother, visited the Hungaroring.
The family was easy to spot from afar, as they were all wearing Ferrari T-shirts and caps, proudly cheering for their favorite team together.

It was heartwarming to see that this experience was special not only for Simi but for the entire family.
When the race cars sped past them for the very first time, Simi couldn't stop smiling. He told us that although he had heard the sound of the engines thousands of times on television, nothing compares to experiencing it live. The sight of the speeding cars, the unique atmosphere of the circuit, and the excitement of the crowd all contributed to making this day truly unforgettable for him.

The family took many photographs that will forever remind them of this wonderful adventure they shared together.
We wish Simi many more moments of happiness like this and hope that these memories will continue to bring him strength and smiles in everyday life.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our private supporters and to the Budapest Marriott Hotel for helping make Simeon's wish come true.

Máté (16, Budapest)


Máté’s wish was to go on a trip, and to a rather unique destination at that, so our flight took us to Montenegro. The departure itself could almost be considered a birthday present, as the young man had celebrated his 17th birthday just one day earlier.

When we first met, we found out that Máté had never travelled by plane before, so the take-off was naturally preceded by plenty of excitement and anticipation. After landing, the Hungarian captain of the Wizz Air flight even invited him into the cockpit.

Over the following days, we had many conversations and discovered that Máté has a keen interest in history and religion. He therefore especially enjoyed exploring Budva’s historic Old Town. He also never seemed to tire of swimming in the sea and enjoying delicious food.

For the first time in his life, Máté tasted octopus, and he also found it impossible to resist the special ice creams. Before heading home, he bought a Montenegrin flag, which he plans to hang on the wall above his bed as a reminder of all the wonderful new experiences he gained during the trip.
