Many people grow up with dreams of becoming a movie star, astronaut or pro ballplayer, but few achieve those goals. Later in life, people scale back those lofty dreams and create more reasonable “bucket lists” for what they want to accomplish.

Not everyone gets decades to fulfill those dreams. For young people and their families struggling with serious medical issues, those dreams and wishes could boil down to just one good wish. Wishes are often as routine as riding a horse, going to an amusement park or attending a ballgame. For children and their families with life-threatening medical issues, such “magic moments” can make a huge difference in their lives.

Fortunately, some people want to help make those wishes come true. One Alabama organization, Magic Moments, tries to arrange for sick children to experience that one thing they really want to do in life.
