Hanna Barbara (12, Százhalombatta)

Hanna’s wish was perfectly fulfilled! Early Friday morning, we departed from Ferihegy to Berlin, where a young man from the airline helped us with check-in and baggage drop-off. Hanna and the Magic Lamp were specially greeted on board by the Wizz Air crew, and at the end of the flight, we were even invited into the cockpit. Hanna received a small airplane and a cute teddy bear as gifts!

The real joy awaited her on Sunday – the tennis matches for the final day were brilliantly arranged: Team Europe faced off against the World Team, and it turned out that we could watch 4 matches – more than 10 hours of live tennis at the Uber Arena. Hanna handled and endured the excitement incredibly well.
And in the middle of the day, the miracle we had hoped for but couldn’t be sure of happened: Hanna met Carlos Alcaraz!!
We waited for him on the locker room level of the stadium, Carlos came out to us in the hallway and had a very nice conversation with Hanna: he gave an autograph and we could take photos. Hanna had prepared three questions for the meeting, and from the answers, we learned that the young tennis ace likes to try other sports, such as golfing, and also enjoys playing video games. However, Hanna’s third question/request was surprising: “Could you possibly give me one of your tennis rackets?” she asked. Alcaraz turned around without a word, disappeared, but a few seconds later, he handed over his racket!

It was an uplifting feeling to see Hanna’s joy!
We wish this very kind, smiling, open, and helpful little girl to stay this cheerful and to play as much tennis as possible – of course, she won’t practice with this racket – it will be framed on her room’s wall.

We would like to thank the Wish Alliance’s Spanish member organization, the Fundacion Pequeno Deseo, and its leader, Cristina, for helping to realise this extraordinary meeting with Carlos Alcaraz, one of the world’s best tennis players.

We are also grateful to Wizz Air Hungary Ltd., the management of the JW Marriott Hotel Berlin, the management of the Budapest Marriott Hotel, Mr. Arne Klehn, and his colleagues for their assistance in fulfilling Hanna’s wish.

Shenis (16, Kőszeg)



Shenis' big dream came true with this wonderful trip to Cyprus. The big girl summed up her experience as follows:

"I've been curious about Cyprus for a long time, and when I heard that I had the opportunity with the Magic Lamp, I immediately took advantage of it.

Although I have flown before, it is new it was an experience to be the first to get on the plane and sit in the cockpit. On the way, I got a very cute teddy bear and a small Wizz air plane, which I love.

The accommodation was perfect. The view from my room was breathtaking. We looked around Larnaca, swam at Nissi Beach, saw the lovers' bridge, and on the last day we went on a boat tour in Larnaca, where we saw an old sunken wreck and where we could jump into the water. At the end of the day, we always ate divine food.

When I got home, I was tired, but I couldn't have ended the summer better. It will remain an eternal experience.

Shenis"





We would like to thank our sponsors, Wizz Air Hungary Ltd., IBIS Styles Budapest Airport Hotel, Mercure Larnaca Beach Resort, Batthyány Lajos Foundation, as well as our private sponsors, for making Shenis' dream come true!

Míra Szofi (16, Szeged)

Míra’s and Melánia's old dream came true with the trip to Paris, they were really looking forward to the day of departure. We were able to travel with the plane of the Wizz Air airline, and then a minibus was waiting for us at the airport, so we arrived comfortably at the hotel. It was easy to get to all the attractions from the hotel. About the attractions we were given a long wish list from the girls in advance. It included traditional tourist attractions, but also included trendy, modern attractions.

We had a stunning view from the 3rd floor of the Eiffel Tower, which we reached in daylight, but we were also able to enjoy Paris also in the evening thanks to the ticket purchased at a lucky time. From above, we could even see some exciting moments of a ball game in the nearby stadium, because we arrived in the French capital on the last days of the Paralympics, but we couldn't tell from the height what kind of game it was. Due to the Olympic events, we had a lot of problems with lockdowns, and thus temporary stands, halls, and tents were placed in our photos as the foreground or background of the historic buildings and bridges, but that's okay, this made the trip even more unforgettable and unique.

We admired the Notre-Dame Cathedral (as far as the scaffolding allowed), soaked up the atmosphere on the banks of the Seine, and then took a boat ride on the river, getting a wonderful panorama of the nearby buildings and attractions. Later we also crossed the most famous bridges of Paris. During our walks, we visited the Champs-Élysées, where the girls shopped, the Arc de Triomphe, the Pompidou Center, we saw the Church of the Invalides with Napoleon's tomb, and of course we couldn't miss the Montmartre district either, and even before the crowds we managed to get up to the high dome of the Sacré-Coeur after admiring the interior of the church. The Opera, the Louvre and its pyramids, the Bastille, Trocadéro and Concorde Square, the Tuileries Garden, Pigalle, Moulin Rouge, the "I love you" wall... we can't even list how many places we visited. In the Atelier des Lumières, the hall that used to be an iron foundry, the walls came to life and we were dazzled by a captivating light show in every corner of the huge room, accompanied by musical background. We almost had to skip the Cédric Grolet Confectionery after seeing the snaking line, but luckily we found a "loophole" in the neighboring street, where we managed to get the famously delicious snacks and coffee, although not quite from the same range. We went to Place Vendôme, where not only Napoleon proclaims his glory at the top of a column, but you can find here also the Ritz Carlton hotel, from which Princess Diana departed on her last journey.

By the end of the third day, we were probably all moving routinely in the intricate, many-faceted underground labyrinth of the metro network.

The trip to Paris went very well, the girls suddenly couldn't articulate what they liked the most.

Milana (10, Bordány)


Milana's big dream came true with the trip to Disneyland. She also had company, Lotti also 10 years old, who also wanted to get to this fairytale place.
When we boarded the plane in Budapest, the Wizz Air team awaited us with a gift, and the girls could also sit in the cockpit.

We arrived at the hotel in Disneyland early Friday afternoon, where we occupied our rooms and the girls even received gifts. After that, we started the afternoon at Walt Disney Studios, where we immediately got on the Tower of Terror roller coaster, one of the scariest, but nothing held the girls back! With the help of the Wish Program, we received wristbands that allowed us to sit on all games without standing in line. So in half a day we got to everything the girls wanted at Walt Disney Studios.

After dinner, we were able to watch the big fireworks in Disneyland Park from the front row.



We spent Saturday in the Disneypark, we were also able to try all the games and roller coasters without queuing.

After the parade of Disney characters in the afternoon, we sat on Milana’s and Lotti's favorite toys several times. The girls got along very well, they really enjoyed the trip, we even took pictures with Winnie the Pooh!

On Sunday morning we set off for Budapest, and the Wizz Air team welcomed us on board with delicious coffee and tea on the way back.

The trip was a lifetime experience for both children.

Zita (6, Andornaktálya)



Zita is a very nice smiling little girl. During most of her stay in the hospital, she looks at her small phone, on which she watches her favorite stories and tik-tok videos. Her wish was to see her favorites on a bigger screen. Thanks to the Magic Lamp Foundation, this wish came true very quickly, so Zita became the happy owner of a tablet.

The little girl and her mother were very surprised, but very happy that a small child's big dream came true so quickly. At that moment, the happy smile of a small, beautiful red-haired six-year-old girl lit up the hearts of her mother and the wish coordinators. Because giving and bringing joy, putting a smile on the face of a sick child is a wonderful mission.

Thank you for the support if the CHARITIES AID FOUNDATION OF AMERICA, with their help we were able to fulfill Zita's wish!

Kornél (7, Balatonfüred)


Kornél asked the Magic Lamp for a super MTB bike so that he could spend more time outdoors and make excursions with his family when the weather is good.

We wish Kornél a great time and cloudless days!

We thank our private donors, including the students and teachers of the American International School of Budapest, for their support, with their help we were able to fulfill Kornél's wish!

Linda (16, Veresegyház)



Linda's hobby is photography. Unfortunately, she had to undergone many operations, so, like many children who can wish from the Magic Lamp, she couldn't wait for her dream to come true.

She wanted to spend a few days at the Lake Balaton with her mother, and she had the special request to spend it on the southern coast, because she wanted to capture the famous sunset on Lake Balaton. And the perfect site for this is the south shore.

Mr. Peter Knoll, the director of the Resort, our kind supporter, learning about this special wish, came to our help immediately.

Linda was able to spend a few days with her mother at the Mövenpick Balaland Resort, and the girl was even allowed to enter the SPA level reserved exclusively for adults and to take photos there.

According to Linda, she had a great time at the resort, a real lifetime experience in the exotic 'palm and pine tree' environment and attractions.

We wish you a speedy and full recovery!

On behalf of Linda, we would like to thank the management of the Mövenpick Balaland Resort for their help.
