To grant the wish of this 10 year old boy we arrived with the help of our supporters. Since the giant trampoline waited in its original packaging for us. Therefore the people from our supporter Schneider Electric, Marosvölgyi Teréz and Molnár Anita helped us to assemble it with the further assistance of the colleague.

Barna was very happy to help and was really excited to see his wish come to life. But there was more as the company also had a little surprise for him. The family very much appreciated the help of this local company, and what they did for Barna.

They found a lot of familiar faces and he tried it out after assembly with great joy and pleasure.




We would like to thank Schneider Electric for their help, according to their representatives it is great that they helped a local child to get well sooner.

Nandi`s wish was to caress dolphins but he has to learn better to swim yet... His wish come true in Malta.
The flight, the meet and greet with a real dolphin, to feel, to touch this wonderful animal was a unique experience for him.

An even bigger experience was to swim the very first time in the sea and the day long boat trip.

Nandi is an open minded lovely boy with whom it was a great fun to travel.

We would like to thank in the name of N'ndi to the Mellow Mood Hotels, the Budapest Stock Exchange and private supporters for this unique experience.

The 15 year old Mate is a quiet, intelligent youngster! He is really attached to his brother. They really miss each other especially when Mate is in hospital for longer periods of time, as he is recovering and healing.

The two brothers really enjoy playing the PlayStation and they of course have their favorite game as well. This is why when I asked what they would like to receive after a brief second of hesitation, he wrote down the name of his favorite game and the exact type of PS he wanted. The gin came to the rescue as his mother couldn’t afford this gift for him.

And the gin like before, listened and after a short while delivered the PS4 Pro and the best game to accompany it.

Mate’s mother arrived at the hospital for the control testing. They had no idea what surprise Mate was in for. Just as they were heading out of the door I stopped then and said that have something I would like to give Mate.
And there appeared a large box housing his gift inside. The pale boys face turned to red as he blushed with excitement His eyes glittered from passion and pure joy. He tore the box open and when he saw what was inside the lean to my ear and quietly whispered “Thank you”!

Dear Mate!
I wish, that you have a lot of joy in the game and get well as soon as possible.

Istvan’s hobbie is basketball, and his favorite team, is the Zalgiris Kaunas. He wished to go to one of their matches, his biggest dream was to see them in the real action.

After a long journey we arrived at Lithuania. The waiting only increased the suspense and the excitement continued to rise.

We were amongst the first to arrive at the grand stadium which could house up to 15 thousand people, where it was still silent. But that did not last for long, as in a short period of time the stadium filled and the ambiance increased. Fireballs, whistles, drums, ovation and waving lasted for more than 2 hours.

Istvan shouted and blasted for the whole match as he enjoy every bit of the already tight game. I believe we were enriched and humbled by this once in a lifetime experience.

We thank the Cisco Magyarország, the UNHCR Global Service Centre, and Budapesti Stock Exchange as well as the Európa2000 Középiskola. Together we worked to achieve Istvans dream!
We would alos like to thank our private founders!

Hedi’s only had one wish, she wanted to swim with dolphins. For this event to take place we traveled to Malta.
Upon our first encounter, I was already amazed at Hedi’s incredible capacity for hope and her open personality. I knew I was dealing with a courageous youngster who knows exactly what and when she wants to achieve, and she does all that with serious charm.
As expected, in the dolphins house, she followed the instructors to the very last move with incredible precision. Every second of the encounter was a huge experience for her which she loved to the end.
She indulged in Malta, she took part in a boat tour where she could enjoy the open sea and the sea breeze while swimming in the sea. There was a pool on top of the hotel which she took great joy in as well and during the evening she closed the evening with some delicious ice-cream.

In the name of Hedi we would like to take this opportunity to thank Deutsche Wirtschaftsclub Ungarn our leaders, our companions, as well as our numerous private supporters, such as the Budapest Thomas Mann Gymnasium-Deutsche Schule teacher’s, students and parent’s for their help, as well as the Hungarian colony of Malta!

Gyönygi really loves music, so she asked for a left-handed, starter, acoustic guitar from the charity. This is how she remembers her wish coming true:

„My name is Gyöngyi, I am 14-and-a-half-years-old girl and I’ve had a medulla transplant. I spent a month and a half in a sterile box, but now I have to visit hospital twice a week from home. I have been studying music since nursery. I first played the flute and then the clarinet. I’m the second clarinet player at the Abony Small Woodwind Band. I have wanted a guitar for a very long time.

On one of my visits to the hospital, I was surprised by a visitor at the Démétér House. I was very happy when I spotted the guitar in her hand. I was wondering if she was going to give it to me. When she did, I eagerly but carefully took the instrument out of its case. I admired it back to front.

Kitti asked me to play the first chords, so I did. After she gave me the gift we talked for a long time about my time in the hospital and my plans and dreams. Kitti and I clicked instantly, and evem my grandmother, my teachers and one of my friend’s mums joined the merry conversation.”


We would like to thank Schneider Electric for their support and Kutasi Kitti for agreeing to take part and being there in person.

Gergő instantly knew at the hospital that he wanted a garden playground with a slide. The 3-4 months of winter passed by quickly and he was very excited to receive the news, that soon the climbing frame and slide would be built.

When the big day finally arrived, after the playground had been built and we officially gave it over, he immediately tried the swings with his brother and said he was very very happy!

The whole family is grateful to the charity, we hope that we have helped contribute to a speedy recovery.

Emilia has been sick for many years, has undergone many interventions and surgeries, so she hasn’t attended kindergarten. If all goes well, she can hopefully start from this September. She plays on her mother’s phone a lot, so she wanted a small tablet for herself that she could play on.

His dream was fulfilled when he came to Nyíregyháza for a check-up. The smiling, black-eyed girl immediately began approaching me saying: ”Thank you so much!”

“Her mum told us she did not sleep at all the previous night because she was so excited for her present!” "You can of course play with it"-she said to her big brother.

With the help of our supporters we again made a child very happy!

The 14-year-old Dorina has been treated at the Bókai Street Children’s Clinic for several months. It was a great surprise for her when before the Easter holidays I visited. She was taken for an examination nearly immediately after I arrived, so I was only able to giver her the gift after a short wait.

When she opened her gift and saw that she had received the laptop she had wished for from Csodalámpa you could see the happiness on her face. Later on she said how much joy the laptop brought her.

We hope that the laptop, which she was able to use immediately with great expertise, will make the time she still has to spend in the clinic a little more bearable for her

We wish Dorina lots of patience, endurance and strength in the recovery that lies ahead.


On behalf of Dorina we would like to thank Batschka Alapítvány and Lurdy Ház for their support!

Martin added some flair to the standard "I would like to travel to Paris" wishes, because, instead of the the usual Disneyland visit he wanted to see a Paris Saint-Germain game in their home stadium.

The flight was thi first magical experience for Martin since he had never flown before.

The next day started off with rain, even the top of the Eiffel tower was covered in clouds, so Martin spent the morning discovering the Louvre.
Mona Lisa's smile is still mysterious, but she quite reticent, hiding behind bulletproof glass, and cordons.
By the time we left the museum the sun started to come out. MAGIC!

In the afternoon we headed out to watch the game. A huge crowd was streaming towards the stadium.
Martin received his coveted fan scarf and took his seat in the Parc des Princes stadium.
Although Neymar had broken his leg recently, and the team just had been eliminated from the Champions League, we saw a fantastic game againts Metz.

Paris Saint-Germain beat Metz 5-0.
The fans went wild and they were celebrating in the streets until the wee hours. The French press was also happy about the resurrection of the team.
Martin had hoped to see lots of goals at the game and his wish was completely fulfilled! Maybe it was also Magic Lamp's doing?

The next day the weather was sunny and clear, so we managed to see a few famous sights. We visited the Arc de Triomphe, then walked over to the Eiffel tower. We also spotted so many cool cars! Martin did not miss any of those awesome Aston Martins, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Maseratis. We took the elevator to the very top of the tower and did not want to leave until dusk.
While we were up there, even saw a marriage proposal. The sight of the falling rose petals was very romantic from above.
Paris is definitely worth a game!

Nina wished for a kitten...

But not just a regular run-off-the-mill kitten. She wanted a fluffy, friendly, playful white kitten, specifically a birman kitten. So we embarked on a quest to find a birman kitten,which was not an easy task as we found out soon enough. It is a fairly rare bread in Hungary and only very few breader specialize in the breed. Moreover, they are usually reserved long before birth.

But we got lucky thanks to Ildiko Bartos because a little guy just became available at the Lyrene Birman cattery. I quickly scheduled a visit so Nina can meet the kitten. The introduction was very succesful, Nina fell in love with the kitten in a heartbeat. Now came the difficult part because Nina had to wait another month until she was able to welcome Rocky in her home.

Darling Nina, we hope that Rocky will bring you lots of joy and fun!

We would like to say a big heartfelt thank you BÉT (Budapest Stock Exchange) for making Nina's wish come true and to Anita Dömötör for making time to attend the wish granting.

Tibike celebrated his 4th birthday just a few months ago. He is very smart and bright lad, who is always happy. He has been a "resident" of our hospital for a while , so everybody knows him and adores him. In spite of his young age he is expertly uses his mobile phone and his table, and he would love to use the laptops of the older kids if they allowed him. One day Tibike told me that he would be so happy if he had a laptop.

The genie of the Magic Lamp happened to hear his wish and brought him a laptop. It will be great because Tibike can use the laptop to learn the letters and numbers, and to listen to music. Tibike was elated when he received his new laptop and put it to use right away. But he was especially happy about the cute red mouse.

We hope that you will enjoy your laptop and we wish you a fast and easy recovery!

We would like to say a special thank in the name of Tibor too to the leaders and members of XpatLoop, the largest Hungarian expat community, for organizing the Budapest Bonfire Night Party for Charity and for the donations raised at the event.

Bence sent us a kind letter about his wonderful trip to Barcelona:

Dear Magic Lamp!

I would like to thank you, your team, the staff of the kidney ward of the Children's Clinic, Dr. Peter Sallai, and nurse Kati for making my wish come true.

FC Barcelona has been my favourite football team since I was a little boy, and I always wanted to see them play at their home stadium. Last April I was given the opportunity to make a wish to Magic Lamp, and there was no doubt in my mind what it would be. Unfortunately, it had to be postponed due to my illness. But eventually, to my great surprise, I was given the green light thanks to Dr. Sallai, who took it upon himself to provide medical supervision on the trip.

Our flight to Barcelona left at 8 pm on February 23, 2018. My uncle Gergő also joined us. Flying was an amazing experience because this was the first time I traveled by plane.

We landed in Barcelona at 10.30 pm, had dinner at the airport, then took a cab to the Arenas Atiram hotel.

On Saturday the first thing we did was to go to Camp Nou to look around in the fan shop. After that, we visited La Rambla and had lunch at La Boqueria market. We were completely blown away by the staggering selection and variety of food, especially seafood.

Spanish people were so kind, happy, and friendly, and they always smiled. There was music everywhere, and everybody was speaking so fast. After lunch, we visited the Columbus monument, then went back to the hotel to prepare for the evening game.

The Barcelona- Girona game started at 8.45 pm. It was unbelievable to see it LIVE!!!!!

The mood was great in the stadium. There was a huge crowd, 75 thousand people wanted to see the game. It was an amazing experience, the fans created a fantastic atmosphere.
It was wonderful to see the team of Barca play live, especially Messi and Coutinho. We had really good seats, about 15 meters away from the field, so we were able to see everything. It was quite an exciting game, and Barca, of course, beat the opposition 6 to 1. Sunday morning after breakfast we set off again to attend a stadium tour. We spent 3 hours there and it was such a great experience seeing the empty stadium, the change rooms, the different trophies, and even walking onto the pitch and sitting on the first team bench.

After the Camp Nou experience, we visited La Sagrada Familia, which is a magnificent building. We also visited Catalunya, which was also a fantastic experience. After that, we returned to our hotel feeling very tired, but full of amazing experiences. Monday morning we headed to the airport and by noon we were back to Budapest.

I would like to thank Csodalámpa again for these unforgettable days, and the fantastic experience.I will cherish it for the rest of my life.

I would like to thank Dr. Peter Sallai again for accompanying me on this trip.

Thank you,
Bence

Kornélia wished for a mobile phone. But not just for any phone, but a beautiful Huawei smart phone.

She was very happy when we gave her the phone and excitedly opened the box right away.
"Wow, it's so beautiful" - she said when finally she held the phone in her hand.

In a few seconds she was completely absorbed in it.

We hope that Kornélia will enjoy her new phone a lot!

We would like to say a special thank in the name of Kornelia too to the leaders and members of XpatLoop, the largest Hungarian expat community, for organizing the Budapest Bonfire Night Party for Charity and for the donations raised at the event.

Although Zsolt is on a waitinglist for a serious operation, we did not think that he would get back so soon to our hospital plus almost immediately taken to our ICU...

We wanted to do something to cheer him up, as his treatments will lats quite some time ... and in the perfect moment arrived the present of Magic Lamp, the "wish" of Zsolt.

When I presented him the package, he opened it and happily shouted: "Wow, that is fantastic! And so thin..." He swithched on the tablet he wished for and started to study it's features.

We wish Zsolt a fast recovery and many happy hours with his new tablet.

Ramona wished for a "playhouse" that in wintertime can be erected in her room and when spring comes one can use it in the garden too.

The little girl was very happy seeing the huge box - at the hospital it was impossible to unpack it - her parents promised to assamble the playhouse as soon as they arrive home.

Get well Ramona, and have lots of happy hours with your brand new house!
