As if discrimination against those without the jab weren’t bad enough, now the Make A Wish Foundation is refusing to grant wishes to dying, unvaccinated children.
A 4-year-old “unclean” child from Staten Island wanted to visit Disney World as a last wish, According to PopTopic.
The Foundation refused to fulfill it, citing his unvaccinated status:
Rocco, the terminally ill 4-year-old boy from Staten Island NY, made a wish to go to Mickey’s House and meet Mickey Mouse in Disney World in Orlando, Florida, with his family but the Make-A-Wish Foundation decided to refuse the child because he was not vaccinated.
[…]Despite social media outrage, Make-A-Wish Foundation doubled down on their stance citing that the sick and dying child would be a danger to others.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in the United States that grants wishes The program is available to (vaccinated only, apparently) children aged 2 and a half to 18 who are diagnosed with life-threatening diseases. The organization was founded in Phoenix and is headquartered there.
The child’s friends were outraged, with one family friend taking to TikTok to say:
“I got a text — a message — from a friend of mine here on Staten Island; his 4-year-old kid — his ill 4-year-old kid — was refused by the Make-A-Wish Foundation for his wish because he’s not vaccinated … at 4 years old!
You should be ashamed of yourself! Let me tell you something Make-A-Wish Foundation, you’re going wish you never made this decision. Next week we’re going to do something for this kid.”
Disney World, the amusement park in Florida, does not require a vaccine for workers or for guests, so why the foundation was so concerned is unclear. Correction: Actually, it IS pretty clear. Furthermore, vaccines are not even approved yet for children under 5.
“I can’t believe these things are actually happening in our country,” New York artist, Scott Lobaido, lashes out at Make-A-Wish Foundation after they refuse his friend’s 4-year-old sick and dying son.
As Rocco’s wish was not granted by the Make a Wish Foundation, others stepped in.
Social media influencer ChrisFix, who has over 1.8M followers on TikTok and 8.5 subscribers on YouTube, offered to help make the kids’ dream come true. In addition, Scott LoBaido organized a fundraiser for the terminally ill 4-year-old child at Joyce’s Tavern in Staten Island.
Despite social media outrage, Make-A-Wish Foundation remained adamant on their position, stating that the dying and sick child would be a danger to others, regardless as to whether he actually had COVID or not.
PopTopic reports both that “Wigs & Wishes stepped up to the plate and promised to send the boy and his whole family first-class to Disney World in Orlando, FL” and that “Social media influencer ChrisFix, who has over 1.8M followers on TikTok and 8.5 subscribers on YouTube, offered to help make the kids dream come true. In addition, Scott LoBaido organised a fundraiser for the terminally ill 4-year-old child at Joyce’s Tavern in Staten Island.”
This means Rocco’s dream will come true, but not because of the Make A Wish Foundation, which is supposed to grant such wishes.
This personally slaps me; I just released a training course where part of the tuition was a request to donate to Make-A-Wish.
As of recently the Make-A-Wish Foundation updated their policy and lifted restrictions on wishes only for unvaccinated children that have received an end-of-life prognosis. According to the foundation’s ‘Vaccine Policy‘ the company will continue to restrict air travel and large gatherings for non vaccinated children who are not terminal.
The policy states: “Make-A-Wish’s recent decision regarding how to begin to lift some restrictions for wishes involving air travel and large gatherings was made to protect the health of children with critical illnesses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic […] There are many other wish options for children who do not currently meet the requirements for air travel and events involving large gatherings.”
Vaccinated children and their families are also exempt from air travel and large gathering restrictions according to the policy. As a result, Make-A-Wish Foundation refused the child’s only wish to go to Disney World since it involved an unvaccinated child participating in a large gathering.
Apparently, there are some groups, such as the Salvation Army and Make a Wish Foundation, that seem to have become ‘de facto’ arms of compliance machines that are more committed to pushing certain policies than to helping people.
It might be time for conservatives to take a closer look at the organizations they donate to.
This is the first time in recent history that someone who doesn’t have a disease is considered to represent a health threat to others that may or may not have been vaccinated against said disease.. And just saying that makes me sick.
I guess they showed that dying 4 year old who was boss!
The sheen is off the Make A Wish Foundation and their reputation is forever sullied.
Time for a Conservative Make A Wish Foundation to take it’s place!
They stopped granting hunting and fishing last wishes years ago and who knows what else since. They should be ashamed of themselves but they are not, their arrogance should be their downfall but they have persisted. Maybe this will show them the ash heap of history but I doubt it.
It’s a shame it has to come to that but I guess you’re right.
Liberals can’t be trusted to even help 4 year old with an end of life disease
It will be a cold day in Heck before those Nazi Fers ever get another of my dollars.
Me Too, and the problem with that is it only hurts the children. The adults in the business couldn’t care less.
Find a different organization worthy of your support.
This is the total double think of the left, a child is terminal, for those of you at Make a wish it means the child is going to die! So you won’t grant a wish because the child is not vaccinated with a gene therapy that does not prevent you from getting covid or transmitting covid. The people that run make a wish should look in the mirror so they can see what an idiot looks like and think how you explain this thought process to God. You all should be embarrassed to even be in that organization because you clearly don’t even know what it is about. Disgusting people!!!!!!
Proves without a doubt the organization was/is not for the children at all.
These people are evil. Plain and simple.
My wish is for lock step freedom-hating control freak Marxists to all crawl off and die.
They will-but I think we might get dragged along with them..
I pointed out their leftist globalist CEO and his ties with Clinton in 2006. I was called a conspiracy theorist and my comment was deleted by the site moderator.
If you ever donate to this evil organization you need look in the mirror and do some self evaluation.
That is messed up, Makes me want to kick a puppy.
It’s not an innocent puppies fault. You need to kick the people that are guilty.
Agreed.
Another charity that does not need my support.
“Make a Wish” has always had a shady reputation, although they somehow rehabilitated their rep years ago. Along with the Salvation Army, there goes another alleged non-profit that I will never contribute to.
Shame on you Make a Wish. Shame.
Like the salvation army they will never receive a donation from me ever again.
As of Jan 1, my business will ban Make a Wish from our list of approved charities for which we will match employee contributions
We are looking at starting a charity to fund the wishes of kids that Make-A-Wish rejected.
Good Riddance!
No more donations for you!
The make a wish foundation is just another social justice warrior foundation run by pedophiles.
I hear Salvation Army donations are down BIGLY due to woke culture. Wonder who’s next ? Perhaps make a MARXISTS WISH !
Daily, the liberal dem bloodsucking parasitical ticks inch in closer to civil war.
soon we will find out how their testicles are
MAKE A WISH. DENYING THE LAST WISH OF A LITTLE FOUR YEAR OLD. watch out for KARMA BABY BECAUSE It’s coming for YOU.
who’s the CEO of this evil foundation?
Another charity to boycott, they are cutting their own throats with this sick wokeness
Just like the Salvation Army, Make A Wish Foundation will lose donations….I quit giving to St. Jude when they made it mandatory for their employees to get the jab or get fired…
well, make a wish foundation… you will (along w thousands of other if i can help it) not get any more money donated to your ‘business’. if you happen to be reading what is actually going on, it is the vaccinated that think they are not carriers or can get covid because they have the shot that are reckless and can give it to others by mis understanding what the shot actually does (which is not much actually) so the only person that would be in danger is this kid and i guess he was willing to take the chance.. you see, he is dying. you people are a sad lot. and should be ashamed of yourselves and what you do. But if you want to be politically correct I guess you will proceed to dash the dreams of this kid and others.
I think I am going to form a charity that does the same thing for all of the kids that Make-A-Wish rejects.
I will never give a dime to, “Make a Wise”, again !
