The wish of Tibor (17) was quite a big challenge for us, as he wished to meet Arnold Schwarzenegger and to have a talk to him.
Tibor said that the celebrity was his role model, so it wasn't a great surprise when he told us that he had become a bodybuilder for a few years.

We were a bit worried about how to fulfill this desire, as Mr. Schwarzenegger lives in America and our foundation can fulfill wishes only in Europe.
But suddenly everything was solved, since one of our volunteers and our supporter, Mr. William Benko introduced us to the chief organizer of the "MVM Success-day 2015" Mr. Gergely Kiss-Török, who offered his help from the first moment. The only thing we had to do was anxiously waiting for the meeting...

Tibor and his family spent the Sunday, 22 February with us. As they live in Törtel, they stayed overnight at Corinthia Hotel Budapest, courtesy of the Hotel management. After a fantastic lunch and a tour of the amazing hotel we left for the Arena Budapest, where the special meeting was organized.

During the show we heard a lot of interesting presentations about personal successes, and as the hours passed, we all became more and more excited...
Finally in the evening Mr. Schwarzenegger stepped on stage and told his own success story, from which we learned a lot of interesting information. He said that his life had been started in a small town in Austria and he also told us about his goals he reached until now and then he shared his "six advices" about the secret of success with us.
At the end of the performance Gergely asked Tibor to go on the stage and while exchanging a few words with Governor he gave Mr Schwarzenegger "his and Magic Lamp's" present a special ginger bread magic lamp.
Tibor could directly talk to his ideal, then he showed him a fantastic drawing that was made by one of his friends about the star.

The governor dedicated it and added with a smile that his biceps on the drawing were much bigger than what he ever had. As for the gingerbread magic lamp, he really liked it, but added with a smile: "I will have to start doing at least 250 sit-ups, if I eat it to burn that much calories..."

Tibor will put the framed drawing on the wall of his gym.
It was good to see how glad Tibor was to have met the governor and the governor too was really touched.

We wish Tibor that all his dreams should be fulfilled so fabulously, and following the advice of Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger he should become such a successful person as his ideal.

We honestly admit that the realization of such wishes always means hard thinking and work. Many people think that such requests can’t be fulfilled at all...
However, we – members and volunteers of the Magic Lamp Foundation - always do our best for the success because we believe in our mission and we are sure that we will succeed. And we do!

Tibor said smiling that he was very glad, and that he had known that his wish would be realized because he came from a deeply religious family. He said good-bye by telling us the following "angelic quote" of an unknown author:
"Thank you too, but you have to know that faith can see the invisible, can believe the incredible and can reach the impossible." This sentence sounds, as if volunteers and supporters of our foundation would have said.

Many thanks for the support of Gergely Kiss-Török organiser and William Benko patron of the MVM Success-Day 2015, Ms. Viktória Csillag and Zsuzsa Szabó who helped us to organise the meeting. Many thanks for Corinthia Hotel Budapest where Tibor and his family could spend a night and for the Gyöngyösmézes company for the custom made gingerbread magic lamp.

Karoly is a grievously ill young man. His only desire was a smartphone, which was granted incredibly fast by Magic Lamp Foundation and HollisWealth.
Thanks to the surprise Karoly stood speechless when he saw us carrying the little package.
While standing still astonished, his father thanked for the wonderful present. The previous day he had a little surgery what left him so weak even smiling was too hard for him. But not for his heart and seeing this, filled ours with warmth.

We are happy that we've been part of this wonderful Christmas miracle.

Many thanks to the management and colleagues of HollisWealth for their support!

12-year-old Botond has wanted a tablet for a long time so he could play games and stay in touch with friends.
Sadly, he has to spend a lot of time in hospital lately and despite having his loving parents taking care of him, he believes that having this item would greatly improve his well-being and the make boring hours during treatment easier to bear.

This Wednesday he had no clue where he was about to go with his parents so late in the afternoon. So he was a little bit awed when they entered Corinthia Hotel Budapest where we were waiting for him.

After a short talk, we quickly handed over his present to make him feel more comfortable. As you can see on the picture, we made him very happy and we hope that this present will help him recover more quickly and he will spend joy-full time.

Dear Botond, we wish you quick recovery!

Thanks to Corinthia Hotel Budapest for their support to make Botond’s dream come true.

Lelle Anna (Anna means soul, mercy) is a 10 years old sick little girl, who has had a longstanding dream of meeting Pope Francis.

This dream came true in the 28th of January, 2015. Anna spent a few days in Rome, in "The Eternal City", where she saw all the wonderful monuments.

The best part of the trip was when she met with Pope Francis, who spoke with Anna for 4-5 minutes. Anna’s face was glowing with happiness.
This meeting has given her extra strength to fight her illness.

Many thanks to the management and colleagues of HollisWealth for their support, which made it possible to make this lovely girl’s wish came true.

Izolda asked for a laptop. With the help of Mr. Andrew Jackson we could make this wish happen. Because of her serious illness, there’s a lot of surgery ahead of Izolda. She will use the laptop in the hospital for studying, listening to music and to watch movies.

Izolda is a private student, and this laptop is a huge help for her. Izolda doesn’t have any siblings, but she has two dogs. She loves them. In her free time she can use her laptop and play with her dogs.

Dear Olga, we wish you good health, recovery and a lot of happiness!

Many thanks to our private supporter, Mr. Andrew Jackson for his help and his personal presence at the wish fulfilling!

Robert is a 14 years old seriously ill boy. He asked a laptop from Csodalámpa Foundation to make his hospital days easyer.

His wish could be fulfilled soon thanks to the MAVIR Zrt's help.

Robert got a treatment in his ward and he didn't know about our arrival - it was a total surprise for him.

From now on it is not so boring for him to stay in the hospital anymore. Robert's mood has been much better since that day.

Special thanks goes to Ms. Mónika Hackl, for she fulfilled Robert's wish in person.

In the name of Robert we would like to thank the MAVIR Zrt. for their support.

We coordinated our visit with Bálint's father in total secrecy, even the big red toy car arrived to their place in secret.

When I arrived the car was already charged and assembled. We took it into Bálint's house.
As his father said they thought out this present for the seriously ill Bálint to allow him to play inside their home.

When the little guy first saw the car he couldn't belive that his dream came true. He immediately sat into it and drived it as a profesional driver.

I wished Merry Christmas to the family and left the house.

Krisztián asked a for white Samsung Galaxy S4 smart phone from the Magic Lamp foundation. He knew exactly what he wanted when we asked him what his wish was.

The 16 years old boy from Budapest could not wait to get his great phone. He was really happy, when on an autumn afternoon we walked in his hospital room with the telephone. He opened the box right away,turned the phone on, and immersed himself into the various features and apps immediately.

In the name of the UNHCR Global Service Centre's workers, Csongvai Kristóf, Szamosi Krisztina and Kondorosi Zsuzsanna joined us too, to give him the phone personally.

Dear Krisztián, we hope you will enjoy using your new phone.

Thank you to UNHCR Global Service Centre for their help.

Dóri would have never thought when she asked for a violin from The Magic Lamp that when her dream comes true won’t be just a miraculous day for her, but also a celebration for the Foundation, because hers was the 2500th granted wish.

We met Dóri and her parents in the small Paganini Music workshop across Zeneakadémia, where the owner Mr. Pál Rácz Gold-laurate violinmaker master welcomed us. It felt like walking into a fine jewellery store. We were surrounded by musical instruments, displayed in glass cabinets, one more beautiful than the other.

Dóri’s eyes started sparkling when she saw the masterpieces. She started studying music when she was 8, and she is considered very talented. She often performs solo at music festivals. Unfortunately, until now she did not have her own violin, she always had to borrow one to practice and perform. Her teacher believes that in order to develop her full potential, she needs a serious instrument.

/ 7

Thus, she tried the two over hundred-year-old, professionally restored violins offered to her with great joy and excitement. We felt that we landed in the middle of a concert when she played a Händel piece on both instruments. Eventually Dóri chose a 19th century Louis Otto violin. No wonder, because it had a magnificent sound.
Finally Mr. Rácz gave Dóri a few tips on how to care for her new violin. Then we slowly got ready to leave.

Ms. Gabriella Boda and Mr. Ádám Honvéd from the Hilton Budapest City invited all of us over for a delicious lunch at the hotel.Before heading home Dóri, now as a proud owner, opened the case again, to show off her wonderful instrument.

We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Master Pál Rácz, the Hilton Budapest City
and the colleagues of HollisWealth from Canada for making Dóri’s wish come true.

Dóri, her parents , Mr Pál Rácz, Mr Ádám Honvéd and the representativers of Magic Lamp Foundation

Xaver is a three years old boy, who wanted an elephant patterned sheets, because he spends most of his time in the hospital.

The nurses gave him a toy harvesting machine, because he likes agricultural machines very much.

Despite Xaver is very sick, he was very happy with the gifts.

Many thanks to the management and colleagues of HollisWealth for their support!

Leonard likes the playground in the hall of the Tűzoltó street hospital, where you can play hide and seek and you can go down the slide. His wish was a playground like this to their garden where he could play with his siblings.

Because of the rainy weather it was hard to build the playground, but on a Saturday it happened. A car appeared and a little time later you could recognize the swing, the slide and the monkey bars. It took a few hours to finish it, but after that the boys could start playing.

We hope that they will spend a lot of time there.

Thank you to the teachers and students of the American International School of Budapest, and the Canadian Hollis Wealth for the support!

The father of Leonard and his two brothers has written us a lovely letter

The four years old János, who is being treated in GYEK, is a very quiet little boy. He told us, that he likes tractor, his favourite is the John Dere tractor. His wall in the hospital was covered with pictures about tractors. After this, it is obvious that he asked for a John Dere tractor from the Wonder lamp. And since the genies of the Wonder lamp don’t know the world impossible, János hot his beautiful green and yellow, two-speed, rechargeable, wireless John Dere tractor, with a trailer.

The little boy couldn’t say a word, he was so happy. His cheeks blushed because of the surprise and joy. In the moment he sat on it, he disappeared from us quickly. It was good to see János’s, and his parents happiness.

Thank you to the Hollis and Wealth managers and co-workers for the support!

Benjamin goes to treatments to GYEK in Miskolc, and he asked a smart phone from the Wonder lamp.

It was a beautiful winter day when the genie of the Wonder lamp bought his present. Benji didn’t know why he had to go to the hospital.

He was nervous, because he hadn’t had a lot of good experiences about hospitals. His mother told us that he had gone through a lot of unpleasant and painful treatments.

He couldn’t say a word when he saw the little white package.
He was whispering “Oh my God! I can’t believe it! Did I really get it? A phone like this?“

After this there were no eyes left dry in the room.

Dear Benjamin, we hope you will have a good use of the phone.

Thank you to the Canadian Hollis Wealth for the support!

Let us say thank you for helping to make the wish came true to Hinora Ferenc, Herdics Andrea and the managers and employees of the Canadian HollisWealth. And to our England based coordinators, Annamari and Brigi.

It was a grey Thursday afternoon when I arrived at the hospital in Madarász Street carrying a huge box. I knew that a very sweet little boy, Botond was waiting for the remote-controlled Lego train, which was hidden in my package.

Even though the treatment, Boti's face brightened up immediately when I said that I had something for him ... We opened the box on the spot, and we checked all the small parts. Finally his mother and I found out, that only boys should fit parts together.

And we were right. At night the train was magically put together (with a significant help of Dad), so next day when I went to visit him with Santa Claus, we could admire the running train.

It was amazing to see the enthusiasm and joy of Boti, and I wish him to play with the super train for a long time.

Many thanks for the support of the Embassy of Finland.

Dóri and Bence were thinking about the same thing when they expressed their wishes. Or rather did they have the same person in their minds?
They wanted to see a live Real Madrid match and their favourite football player, C. Ronaldo. None of them had ever been abroad, and none of them had ever travelled by airplane.
I combined the "experiences" together so that they should tell about the journey with their own words. Please do not be surprised if the word „amazing” turns up many times...

B: I have played fotoball since I was a little boy, and I love football. My favourite team is Real Madrid. I had a dream: I wanted to see a live match of my favourite team at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. I had never thought that my dream would ever come true, but when the volunteers of the Magic Lamp contacted my mother, I began to trust in it.

D: I expected this trip as a child is looking forward to Christmas. When I was sitting on the plane, I realized that this all is happening to me! I specially enjoyed take-off and landing: it was like a roller coaster in an amusement park. As it was the first time that I had gone by air, everything was so new and strange to me.

B: We were laughing a lot together. First evening we saw a flamenco show. Next day we visited the Spanish Royal Palace.

D: Everything was so beautiful there: fancy and exaggerated, but still beautiful. The walls and the carved furniture were amazing. But the strangest thing was that the royal couple still lives in it.

B: Then came the highlight of the whole Madrid tour: the match that started at 20 o'clock, but we were already there before 18.00. The big crowd was amazing. Mounted policemen were waiting for the Real team that arrived by their beautiful bus before 19.00. The fans madly ran after the bus. It was wonderful and not to mention the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. It was an indescribable feeling when we got in the huge stadium, but it was nothing compared to the feeling when the players came out. It was just amazing to see these super players live, not to say the great location. The feeling, when 50 thousands of fans cheered for the team at the same time can’t be described by words.
In addition, we could see a lot of goals as Real Madrid won 5:1 against Rayo Vallecano.

D: Unfortunately I could not meet personally my favourite player, Cristiano Ronaldo. But to be present at such a match gave me a lifelong adventure. The atmosphere of the match can not be compared to any concert, or any major event. When a goal was shot, everyone stood up and they were whistling and shouting at the same time. "Hala Madrid" was said. The shooter’s name was always called out. Fortunately, I could see Ronaldo among the shooters.
All goals were shot by different players, but the last one was my favourite!

B: Sunday morning we went to a stadium tour. It was incredible to see the lots of trophies, the photo of Puskás öcsi, and the players’ dressing room. We could go to the edge of the track, I could sit on the bench, and a photo was taken of me with the image of my favourite player (of course created with photoshop).

D: It was a very big stadium, it took half a day to visit it. I really liked the tour. It was interesting to see the place where the players play football, their dressing room and the trophies they won. We could have a look "behind the scenes". The whole stadium was amazing.

B: Then we went to a wax museum, where wax figures of famous people could be seen. On Monday, we could spend an unforgettable day at the amusement park. It was amazing, I enjoyed it very much.

D: It was my best vacation thanks to the Magic Lamp Foundation and to the sponsors. Thanks to Tamás Kardos, who accompanied us on this trip. I would like to thank everybody for making my wish come true.

It was the happiest three days of my life because I got more than I dreamed of. Thank you very much!

B: Thank you very much to the Magic Lamp Foundation, to dr. Enikő Noémi Felszeghy and to Tamás, who accompanied us and who was very kind, helpful, and patient. I have never thought that there are still so kind-hearted and devoted people like he.

It was an unforgettable experience! Thank you very much!

Laura is a big fan of Harry Potter. She read every book and saw every movie. That’s why her answer to our question wasn’t surprising. She asked us to take her to London, to the Harry Potter Museum and to the filming locations.

We were excited about the trip, who wouldn't be?

We at Magic Lamp are also fans of the books and the movies, so we were also excited to find out what the museum would be like. It turned out that the museum is the studio of Warner Bros. , where they filmed most of the scenes. Of course they filmed scenes all around England, for example in London and Oxford.

The plane took off at dawn on Sunday. Laura and her mother Mónika spent a night at the Hilton Budapest Hotel, courtesy of the Hilton Hotel Budapest’s management.

With Laura’s words the start was fantastic. Her mother Mónika wrote it on her Facebook account:
"The team of Hilton Budapest welcomed Laura before her big journey to London. We would like to thank them for the opportunity to spend the night in a beautiful hotel like this and for welcoming us so warmly. Laura said: Mom everybody knows me here? Yes, today everybody wants to please you, you are the special guest!"

A happy in-house report about Laura's stay at Hilton Budapest Hotel

And what was the journey like? Laura’s mother wrote of the experience:

"Laura had a huge dream. She wanted to go to London, see the sights, and visit the Harry Potter Museum. The genie of the Magic Lamp Foundation made Laura’s wish come true. Thank you to the foundation for organising a wonderful trip. Thank you to Éva Patzauer for creating a foundation that actually makes children’s wishes come true and makes them forget about the situation they are living in. They give them an experience of a lifetime.”

"It’s my own experience and the most beautiful sentence from my daughter: "Let’s go, it doesn’t hurt!" She also said: "How beautiful" and "So great". After she had climbed 257 stairs smiling and walked through the park she said it didn’t hurt. She looks very happy in the photos. I think the smiles are talking for themselves.
She could go to a studio where they filmed her favourite movie, which she grew up with. It was a huge experience. Thank you for Magic Lamp, the volunteers who helped organising the trip, to the supporters, and to everyone who had a part in making Laura’s wish come true."

Thank you to the management of Hilton Budapest Hotel for their warm welcome, the Canadian HollisWealth company for their support and to the students, parents and teachers of the American International School of Budapest for walking to raise money to make Laura’s dream come true.

Thank you to our volunteers who live in London, to Annamari, Kriszti and Brigitta for helping in the organisation and implementation. They gave a great joy to Laura.

Bálint had a really unique wish: he wanted to ride his own horse as "Zorro".
He has been dreaming about it ever since he began school, because the school is too far away and he would get there more quickly, not to mention the feeling when he would ride into the schoolyard...

A serious organization was started, because Bálint didn’t wish to have just a common horse but a real nice color hucul horse.
Our kind supporters, Dr. Zsombor Magyar and his wife, Ursula bred that kind of horses in Tahitótfalu. We visited them several times and we also had a discussion with Bálint's parents about the right pony.

While we were seeking and checking, Bálint were taken riding lessons. Attila Rónai taught him how to take care of a horse, how to ride it... Attila didn’t think that the initial tasks would be increased day by day, because the kid wanted to learn lots of things, as archery and fencing with swords. He wanted to to know everything, as Zorro did.
On a nice autumn day Bálint put on his Zorro costume, but he still did not know anything about the surprise. His mother, Edit and his father Zsolt just told him that someone from the Magic Lamp Foundation wanted to meet him, to see his Zorro custome and to talk about the pony request.

When we arrived, Bálint came as a real brigand, dressed in black with a gold belt ... but luckily there was not time to get frightened, because he and his brother, Nimród warmly welcomed us.

After giving him the Zorro hat - that was sent by Efraim, another „Magic Lamp” kid – we went for a walk to the grass to see the horses. We all knew that a little farther, even invisibly Mandula was impatiently waiting for his new owner.

As we were coming near, Bálint was talking about the horses and the riding. As soon as he saw Mandula, he couldn’t say anything, but a little bit later he told us: „You know, this is the color I wish for!”
Mandula had been already saddled and Zsombor was standing next to it and suggested Bálint to get on the horse if he liked and to go a few laps in the equestrian field. Bálint became very excited, then he swung into the saddle with a little help and was riding a few laps, of course, led by Zsombor.

We asked Bálint whether he would keep Mandula if he could, and he answered with a big smile "Yes."
That was the moment we told him that this cute horsy would be his. Certainly we knew that although he said „yes” he could not even apprehend it…

...And at this moment his parents also had a sigh of relief, they would not keep the secret any longer, they would not try to explain why a "parking shed" was built in the centre of their garden, that in fact became the place of Mandula.

/ 8

After the "test riding" Bálint led Mandula to its temporary place to have a rest after the excitement of the transport. Bálint offered his trainer, Attila, to ride Mandula.
We do not know who was more excited, Mandula, Bálint, his parents or we...

We wish that Mandula should heal Bálint for ever and they should be good friends for many years.

Many thanks for the support of the leaders and employees of Morgan Stanley in Budapest and that of HollisWealth from Canada, companies that both provided a serious financial help in order to make Bálint’s dream come true.

Ivett wished to have touch screen laptop.

All preparations regarding the gift-delivery were kept in the deepest secret. Also our arrival was kept in secret for her thanks to her mother...

When we arrived, at first Ivett could not understand what these three ladies, all strangers wanted from her.
When we told her who we are and why we came and what we brought, she could not believe it...
She was really moved to see her wish come true. She unboxed the small computer immediately and switched on the machine.

It was so fulfilling to see how happy she was for the gift...

Dear Ivett, we wish you very happy hours with your gift and please, get well the soonest!

We would like to thank the help of the colleagues at HollisWealth in the name of Ivett too.
