KRISZTOFER (13, BUDAPEST)


Krisztofer wished for a Samsung Galaxy mobile phone from the Magic Lamp Foundation, to keep in touch with his friends and classmates during his time in the hospital.

He will be able to listen to his favorite music on the phone and, of course also play games on it.

We gave the mobile phone to Krisztofer right after a medical check at the hospital, which "made his day".

Thank you for the support of Magyarország Kft., which enabled us to fulfill Krisztofer's wish.

SZABOLCS GYULA (17, VÁC)

Are there any big boys who do not want to learn how to drive?

If there are, Szabolcs is definitely not one of them, since he wished for a driver's license. Magic Lamp is happy to help Szabolcs to achieve his goal. He has been attending driving school and, according to his instructor, he is very good. He only needs few more lessons, and then he will be ready to venture out on his own.

Dear Szabolcs, we wish you a successful driving exam and safe driving!

We want to thank Henkel Hungary Ltd. for their continuous support!

BALÁZS (13, EGER)

Balazs is a patient young man.
He had been waiting for his wish to come true since 2019. Balazs wanted to visit Disneyland, but unfortunately, COVID interfered with his travel plans. We recommended Balazs to change his mind and wish for something else, but he decided to wait.

But in 2022, his wish got finally granted, and he reached the realm of fairy tales and magic!

Thanks to Wizzair, the magic already started at the Budapest airport. It was Balazs's first ever flight. He got invited into the cockpit by the captain, who even let Balazs sit in his seat.

The flight to EuroDisney went by quickly, and after a quick transfer came the next magical experience: Newport Bay Hotel. Balazs was utterly captivated by the hotel's architecture, interior, and, of course, its lighthouse. Even though I was pretty sure about the answer, I asked Balazs and his mom whether they wanted the watch the evening fireworks, even though they had long and exhausting travel. The answer was a definite yes.

What else could it have been; since it was Balazs's 13th birthday. The Wizzair crew congratulated him on the flight, and now the fireworks- he could not have received a more marvelous gift!

During the following two days, Balazs explored the rides and attractions, including Aladdin and the Magic Lamp, roller coasters, Indiana Jones, and many-many more. On the last day, we visited Disney Film Studios, and Balazs had a chance to enjoy his favourite Star Wars ride and have a big fright in the free-falling elevator of Hollywood Tower Hotel.

Unfortunately, the magical experience was drawing to an end, and it was time to board our Wizzair flight back to Budapest.

Balazs and Magic Lamp want to thank Wizz Air Hungary Ltd., Euro Disney Associes S.C.A., E.ON Hungária Zrt., and our private donors, among them Show and Game Zrt., for making Balazs's wish come true.

DOMONKOS (8, BUDAPEST)

Domonkos likes to wander around, travel, and "see the world".

Another thing that can keep his attention is music. He likes to listen to many kinds of music and sometimes dances to it. Domonkos is greatly influenced by his brother, so he asked Csodalámpa for a hand-held game console just like Benedek's. He ended up getting a Nintendo Switch, for which he also received additional games as a gift.

Thank you for the support of the Budapest Marriott Hotel that enabled us to fulfill Domonkos' wish!

Benedek likes to do sports. He has been playing judo since he was 3 years old, but he also likes cycling and diving. He likes to go to amusement parks and, of course, he is happy to "hang out" and play with his friends.

His wish from Csodalámpa was a Nintendo Switch, with which he also received games as a gift to pass the time during hospital treatments.

We wish Benedek a speedy recovery!

Thank you for the support of the Budapest Marriott Hotel, which enabled us to fulfill Benedek's wish!

TAMÁS (17, SZOLNOK)

Tamás’s wish was a pool and the Magic Lamp Foundation granted his wish over the weekend.

I met a very sympathetic young man at his home. The pool was set up in the backyard already.

Tamás played water polo before the accident, which he missed very much during his many hospital stays, so he didn’t have to think much about his wish.

He spent a few days at home between hospital treatments, so he was able to dip his toes in the pool alongside his friends. In addition to his recovery, he also keeps his studies in mind, and he will have his final exams at the end of the summer.

He can’t wait to take full advantage of the pool, which his current medical condition doesn’t allow.

We wish you strength and perseverance in your recovery and good luck with your exams.

Thank you for the support of Henkel Magyarország Ltd., with their help, we were able to fulfil Tamás' wish!

OSCAR (8, TATA)

Oscar asked for a cell phone from us, to basically play games on it.

His father accompanied him at our fundraising dinner gala held at the Corinthia Budapest Hotel.

Oscar was not a little bit shy on stage, he cheerfully answered the questions asked by Péter Geszti MC, who also hinted to Oscar that a phone could be used for many other things, for instance chatting with friends.

Oscar's wish was granted by the hotel's director, Mr Pace, who personally handed over the requested Samsung smartphone to him.

We thank Oscar and his father for attending our gala dinner, it was an honour to have them. A huge thanks go to our private sponsors, also to Mr. Péter Geszti and the Corinthia Hotel Budapest, and of course the gests of the gala-evening for helping us fulfil Oscar’s wish.

FERENC (17, RÁCKEVE)

After some thought, Feri asked Magic Lamp for various computer parts and a monitor.

His story is not unusual: his mother told us that one day he came home with a swollen knee after an active day at school. It was compressed, cooled, and the swelling went away.

Then, about half a year later, the swelling reappeared, but then the compression did not help . They went to the doctor to get it checked and the next day they were already in the hospital…

Although we planned to grant his wish very differently, I had to hand over his presents right in the middle of one of his pre-surgery chemotherapy sessions - hoping to cheer him up a bit.

The treatments are unfortunately very hard on Feri, he is constantly feeling sick and dizzy, but even so he acknowledged the gifts with a faint smile.


We would like to thank the management of the Corinthia Hotel Budapest, Mr Péter Geszti, and our private sponsors for helping Feri forget his troubles and the medical treatments he is experiencing that still have a long way to go.

ALEXANDRA (13, BUDAPEST)


Alexa had a dream of swimming with dolphins. She was excited about the fabulous trip to Malta where her wish would be fulfilled.
This was the first time for the girl to be on an airplane and the flight attendants made her flight really unforgettable. She had even an opportunity to meet the pilot and visit the cockpit.

We arrived to Malta and the amazing moments went on. From the airport, we were taken to the elegant Corinthia Hotel, where the hotel staff gave Alexa a warm welcome and she immediately became a VIP guest. The spacious room with the terrace overlooking the sea, the swimming pools under the palm trees, the delicious breakfast and the attention and kindness of the staff charmed the little girl, who felt like a real princess during those few days. Sightseeing tours were organised by the hotel to make her stay more enjoyable.

Finally, it was time for taking part in the the long-awaited program in the Marine Park.
Certainly, the sea lion show, the parrot show and the dolphin presentation all were very interesting, but the highlight of the day definitely was the Dolphin Interaction Program: Alexa got a special swimsuit, then a short training was held about how to communicate with the dolphins. A few minutes later she entered the seawater-filled pool, where she could joyfully and happily swim with her favourite animal, the dolphin.

Alexa’s dream came true and I am sure, this weekend will remain a life-long memory!

We would like to thank for the kind support of the management and employees of Hotel Corinthia St George's Bay , Mr. Jonathan Pace, director of Corinthia Budapest, the Wizz Air Hungary Ltd, the Bástya Millenium Zrt., and our private supporters, among them Tibor to realise Alexa's wish.

JÁNOS (11, BUDAKESZI)

May 6, 5:00 p.m. Liszt Ferenc International Airport.

There are lots of excited traveling people, but there is a big boy out of everyone who is much more excited about flying than anyone else.
Jankó, 11 years old, had the dream of seeing his favorite team - including famous football players like Messi, Neymar or Mbappé - play football.

The Magic Lamp flew him to Paris to watch one of the matches of the Paris Saint-Germain team in its own stadium.
Even flying was a new and fantastic experience for him. He was escorted to the plane as a VIP guest, where he had the chance to visit the cockpit and to talk to the captain.

He was truly impressed by Paris itself and together with his father they visited every sight they could. And on the long-awaited day, he saw several of the world’s greatest football players in real life.

He was indescribable happy. He said,
“I would have never dreamed of making it to Paris, let alone sit in the stadium of the best team in the world, and watch them play while they were celebrated with a standing ovation by the fans. Thank you so much for the many experiences, smiles, kindness and last but not least the LOVE.”

We truly thank our supporters, the Wizz Air Hungary Ltd, the Marriott Budapest Hotel, the Hesse Trade Kft. and our private sponsors for being able to bring together such great joy to Janko and make his dream come true!

FLÓRA (11, ALSÓÖRS)


An old dream came true for Flóra on a weekend in May: she went to Disneyland, Paris.

Because of the closures, travel restrictions she could only day-dream about this trip for a long time but her enthusiasm didn’t shrink at all.

Despite the late night arrival she was exploring Disneyland from early morning till late night, immersing in its wonders. She really felt special as she did not have to wait in line ever, she was entitled to jump the queues and she could watch the parades, the evening fireworks from the best spot.

This was enhanced even more by the kindness of Wizzair: she was greeted with special attention on board, she could even explore the cockpit with the captain.

This weekend will remain a life-long memory for sure!

Many thanks goes for their kind support to the Euro Disney Associes S.C.A., the Wizz Air Hungary Ltd., the MVM Energetikai Zrt. and our private sponsors, that helped us fulfill Flóra’s wish.

BENEDEK BALÁZS (10, EGER)


Football means everything to Benedek!

He plays in a team, regularly watches the matches, especially those of the Hungarian league, and knows everything about football. He would easily tell you the exact line-up of a large number of football teams worldwide, by heart. His dream was to attend a major international game, and he has managed to see no less than one of the most prestigious matches in the world, between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid, in Madrid of course.

Even the travel to Madrid was exciting because this was the first time for Benedek to be on an airplane. Colleagues from Wizzair have done everything possible to make his flight unforgettable. He has received VIP treatment, he could learn about the aircraft and meet the pilot. Before the big game, he had some time to see the main sights in Madrid. He has enthusiastically strolled on the streets of Madrid’s downtown and could not possibly miss the famous Bernabeu stadium, the home of Real Madrid.

Of course, the most important experience was the match itself where the fans have created an incredible atmosphere and Benedek could see some of the world’s best players in real life!

We would like sincerely thank the help of Wizz Air Hungary Ltd, Henkel Magyarország Kft., Schneider Electric and also that of our private supporters, among them Tamás and his friends that made us possible to realise Benedek's dream.

He is interested in architecture and is doing well in math, so he wants to work as an architect or economic engineer in the future.

KRISZTOFER JUNIOR (4, BOLDVA)

Krisztofer asked for a tablet from the Magic Lamp Foundation. Since he spends so much time in the hospital, his favourite pastime is watching fairy tales. He would watch Paw Patrol, Peppa Pig and Puffy the Pooh stories almost all day.
Lately he's been watching them on a borrowed mobile phone. Krisztofer said he would be glad to get a bigger screen to enjoy the stories.

His wish was soon granted and the little boy received the much-awaited tablet.

He would prefer to sleep with his new gift – told us his father.

Dear Krisztofer,

We wish you many happy hours watching fairy tales and a speedy recovery!

Levente was very handy even as a little boy. He likes to assemble or take things apart and then put them back together.

He is studying to be a car mechanic, and in addition to legos, he is increasingly involved in scientific modeling in his spare time. His other hobby is listening to a wide variety of music, mostly pop and retro music, but he also loves classical music. He wished for a speaker from Magic Lamp to take his musical experience to the next level.
