Rainbow Society of Alberta
The Rainbow Society of Alberta is dedicated to fulfilling wishes for Alberta children between the ages of three and eighteen with a chronic or life-threatening illness.
A chronic illness robs children of childhood. It exhausts parents, strains marriages and leaves healthy siblings feeling like they don't matter at all.
Having a wish granted can bring a welcome respite from the grind of hospital stays, doctor's visits, medicines, tests, treatments, worries and fears. The wish is not a cure, and it is not a reward for being sick. It's a break from the daily hardship of being ill - a break for the entire family. A wish is something the whole family can look forward to.
Since 1986, we have fulfilled the wishes of over 900 children from across the province.
