Emese is playing guitar already for 4 years, it is no wonder she asked a guitar from djinn of the Csodalámpa. She asked a special guitar, an acoustic one. Up to now she had a simple guitar she used in the hospital to play for the children to forget hard days together.

Emese is already over the main part of the treatments and can go to school and take guitar lessons. Only one surprise was missing, a brand new guitar.

Let’s go to Szentendre where Emese is living. The smiling, full of eyes girl almost didn’t want to believe her dream comes true. She took the guitar carefully; her eyes were laughing and said it is wonderful. She started to play the guitar as a professional.

Emese revealed that sometimes she also composes music. I asked her to write music for Csodalámpa, we would be happy to hear these songs.

We wish you to make yourself, your family and friends lots of fun with your guitar and your music.
Emese’s wish has been granted from the donation of the pupils and teachers of the Budapesti Angol Nemzetközi Iskola.
Thank you for your support!

Bálint was already very excited when I asked him whether I was in the right ward if I was looking for Bálint. As soon as he got a glimpse of the large box he started to crow with delight and kept on asking: what is in it, what is in it?

Certainly he had to see it for himself so the wrapping disappeared in pieces within a few seconds and the beautiful, portable DVD player emerged from its hiding-place with the help of mommy.

Mommy was prepared of course and we put the favourite CD into the player and the ward was filled with Christmas music, since this is Bálint’s favourite. Nurses also hurried to the ward to see the reason for the gaiety, Bálint was singing loudly and exclaimed happily:


- Thank you! Thank you!


All of us who were part of this event rejoiced with him.

God bless you all! – Bálint’s grandmother said good-bye gratefully.

This wish has been granted with the support of Kovács Gábor Művészeti Alapítvány Many thanks in the name of Bálint too!

Laci takes the secondary school as a private pupil. If he goes well he can also go to school and attend lessons. He likes machines and motors.

His wished to learn car driving. He could start the lessons for the rules of the road and first aid training in November and he passed this part successfully.

He had a little break in his study as he had to participate on treatments and examinations…
Early February he could already attend the practical lessons, he tried city driving.

If everything is all right he will attend the exam on Thursday (19.02.2009).
We wish you, Laci good success.

P.S.: Laci has passed the driving test successfully. Congratulations!

Today Fanni came back just for medical check and she didn’t expect that she’d have a surprise.

She opened the huge package excitedly, which had been packed by the sponsor carefully in order that the electric piano not gets injured.

As it turned out what hides the package, she gave us a little ad-lib concert very happily.

Her mother told us that since the treatments are over she has piano lessons and now she can exercise even at home and perhaps compose some music.

SZERSZÁMKER 95 BT, Debrecen, the Sponsor – Thank you very much the present!

Acquiring the remote controlled railway started with serious constitution, in which the team of Régió toy-shop helped us a lot as we could obtain the toy by the help of them.

We had to select among more models – it caused quite a lot hesitating which one Laci thought of – then we selected one of them.

In the Tűzoltó Street Hospital the whole family was waiting for our arrival.

The huge box was opened during some moments and by the help of Laci’s father they were building the tracks and assembled the remote control. Meanwhile Laci was looking the engine and the wagons.


-It’s the railway what I’ve wanted! – shouted Laci happily.


His mother explained to us that Laci saw this railway at an exhibition and he really loved exactly this one.

Laci was so happy, he was pushing the remote control – this caused a little upset in the railway traffic but fortunately, everything was all right, the engine was rolling on the tracks and Laci was very happy.

We had a nice evening.

Little Máté adores trains and locomotives. We thought he would be happy to drive on with a little help.


When we arrived to Hűvösvölgy at the last stop of the „Children’s Railway” Mate was curiously looking around. With his Grandpa they took on an old locomotive immediately. After they looked around in the erecting shop, meanwhile the motorman turned on the most beautiful locomotive for them.


Mate was a little bit afraid when they got on the locomotive with his Mummy, but he settled very easily with the help of Mr. Vinish who is one of the leader and trainer of “Children’s Railway”. Then they were off to go to Wonderland… When they got back from the journey, Marci got his second surprise. He had a chance to drive the railcar with a real professionalism now, taking his Mum and Grandpa with him.


So what could be the award for this little brilliant locomotive engineer? A Thomas locomotive and a suiting plotting board, because you can not drive a locomotive all the time, can you?

Thank you for the support of the Children’s Railway, Mate’s dream could not come true without them.

Martin’s wish was a dedicated football. He received it with the help of the Hungarian National Team together with a dedicated football shirt.

He was very happy because he did not know that besides of the unpleasant medical control he will have such a surprise on that day.

He dressed up immediately, but he did not play with the ball. He promised he will put it on his shelf as a precious gift…



Thank you for the help of Tamás Szekeres and to the Hungarian National Team.

Boglárka is a 5 year-old young lady who goes to an archery course with her Dad.

She would like to receive a spiral bow which she can use and practice anytime she wants. Luckily we found a beautiful blue spiral bow for her size.

We gave this to her when she was in the play house, just at the right time! She was really surprised and very happy about this.

Dear Boglárka, we wish you good health and luck in archery!
Thank you for Balázs Ballon (O Graphic Studio) who helped us that this wish came true.

Marci is 11 years old today. He came out of the sterile transplantation box 4 weeks ago. His dream was to fly on his birthday.

We started to organise it immediately, but we have very limited time. On that morning it was heavily raining in Miskolc, but our God and voluntary chaplain and was with us…

By 4 pm our Csodalampa team from Miskolc was there dressed in the Csodalampa shirt. We brought a book about flying, a cake, firework and number 11. We were waiting for Marci and his Dad. They arrived but Marci still did not realise that he will fly.

/ 8

They took off and we waved to them.
The plane flew towards the hospital where Marci were. On the balcony nurses waved to Marci who was driving the plane alone.

They flew towards Marci’s house and his Mom, sister and brothers waved at him. When they got back to the airport Marci received the cake and the book and also a birthday singing.

He was really touched and he could hardly say:


- Thank you!


But in this single word and in his sparkling eyes there was everything we needed to know how he felt. :))

Ps. These moments make worth for working to Csodalámpa!

The dream of an adolescent boy

It happened like that, Dani who has already tried some sports but swimming has dropped out of his life up till now.

And then suddenly he gets swimming lessons from an excellent coach in the swimming pool.

The boy who’s up till now just till ankle ventured to go into the water enjoys this kind of movement. It didn’t show that he missed some lessons because of summer holiday.

It was good to see this pair, coach and pupil, among jumping and dabbling children around them. The devoted training of aunt Eszter and Dani’s application can be exemplary for a lot of us.

We’ll never forget that smile when the coach lauded Dani at the end of the movement-rows.


Dear Dani, we wish you a lot of power and insistence to full recovery and we also wish all of your dreams come true!

It was Roxana's old dream, which came true by Csodalámpa in the past day. We gave her the laptop she wished in the Children's Hospital in Miskolc.

We received Roxana's wish though the Internet, she placed it on our website with the help of her mother. She'd never hoped that it would take such a short time to our foundation to make her wish come true.

She looked us with real enthusiasm in her eyes while the box was handed over to her and when she took out the laptop from it she screamed: My wish came true! So soon! I wouldn't have believed it!

Roxana spends lots of time in the hospital that's why she thought such equipment would help her to kill time.

She told us that from next year on she will have IT lessons in the school and she will be able to practise for the lessons as all her classmates who has a PC at home.

We hope this computer will give lots of happy moments to Roxana and we wish all the best to her.

We asked Roli to visit us to make his wish come true - a PC.

He was really happy about it and at the first moment he could not believe that his wish came true.

Dear Roli,
We wish you should have lots of fun with your new computer.

Budapest, 2008.08.25.

I met Zsolt first in the Clinic in Bokay Street. This 13 year-old boy was sitting front of a big bowl of cherry and nibbled it.

After my introduction of Csodalampa Foundation his eyes were kindled and asked if he could wish for anything…Next time I saw her he wanted to fly in a balloon. And then things started to get a shape. A gentleman came to us and on behalf of his company he gave help to make this dream come true.

To fly with a balloon depends on many things: Budapest Airport should give permission, there has to be a good wind; so we chose several dates for the possible travel. First time when everything came together, Zsolt got ill and went to the hospital.

For the second time Zsolti was still in the hospital, but because he was ok on the 7th of August with a medical attendance we went to Lake Velence to take off.

As a surprise ha had a bath in the Lake; got some ice-cream, chips and sandwich; then he even ride on a horse. He enjoyed it very much, only if dogs were not there…

After horse riding we met the organiser at a nearby petrol station and went together to the landing place. In here they blow up the balloon and it was time to go. Zsolt and his Mom and Doctor Sallay were on the balloon as well. Zsolti was not afraid at all, he was bit tired in the end.

On the way home Zsolti was listing the things he enjoyed the most many times.

In this way he could face the operation a bit easier next day. At that time we did not know that Zsolt will have kidney transplantation soon. The operation went well and Zsolti is in a good condition.


We wish you to get better!

We entered to the hospital room with a big smack of Indi’s superb whip.

Béla was surprised when he got the whip for first… the Lego of Indiana Jones was in such a big box he could hardly hold it when we put it on his bed…

He started to look at the photos, and only because of our encouragement he finally opened the boxes. We were all very excited to know what is inside the box. The precious gifts were unrevealed one by one, putting together a film set altogether (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) – very exciting!

There was a book and a set of card as well included, and Béla opened the book and flicked through the card with big amusement.

Her Mom said that Lego is one of his favourite, he collects them and this piece was missing.

The next coming days’ treatments will be a bit easier to take…

This wish has been granted with the support of Many thanks in the name of Béla too!

Sebastian aged 5, spent his days in the Clinic without his parents. We became friends when he was half way through his treatment.

After listing many wishes, he decided to ask for a pedal go-car. To his surprise he received it right away on Monday. He was very touched when he sat in and promised that he lets his brothers to sit in as well.


Thank you for Andrea Safranek and her family for their donation.

During her stay in the hospital Martina always zapped between the channels until she found a film about the nature and the life of the oceans.

This gave her the idea to pick up shells on a beautiful seaside.
Thanks to the Csodalámpa Alapítvány Martina’s dream came true and she could visit Corfu with here family.

She could collect shells and stones from the beautiful Ion sea.

Her medical state allowed her to swim in the water. She returned from the world of the sea full with adventures, sun tented and with a huge smile on her face.


We would like to express our thanks to Csodalámpa Alapítvány for this unique week we spent on Corfu.

The wish was fulfilled with the support of the

International Women's Club and Personal Tours.

Thank you in the name of Martina as well!

The great football fan Levente’s wish was a real wooden table soccer. He was going home with his parents, when suddenly they decided to have a coffee.

In the pastry shop there was a big football shaped cake and a big box waiting for Levente.

Levi has got two brothers, so they will have lots of fun with the soccer. After 5 months spent in the hospital, they are together again, and they can play with it any time.

After the transplantation Levente is not allowed to go to public places, that is why it is important that table soccer will provide entertainment for him.

We wish Levente lots of successful soccer tournaments!

In Hungarian we use frequently the phrase: I don't find words or I don't find my words to how great our surprise is.
That was the right phrase to use in case of David who came to visit us, the Csodalámpa Alapítvány- on his wheelchair to receive his new computer.

He was so surprised and happy about his new computer that we could not hear his voice.
Finally we could get know that he likes the computer games and he knows all of them which can be played on the computer. These games give him a chance to kill time. His recent computer was too old and he could not play on it anymore. That was the reason why he asked a new from us.

In our office Dávid decided that in the future he is only going to win, and not only with the games...

The wish was fulfilled with the support of the International Women's Club.Thank you in the name of Dávid as well!

The real miracle!

Szabina’s wish was to spend a weekend in a wellness hotel with her family. The wish came true in the middle of June by the help of Szalajka Liget Hotel in Szilvásvárad.

How interesting what we do. Our primary objective is making the children forget their illness. It happened like this also now…

On Saturday at noon I went out to the hotel. I met a very smiling little girl who without any shamefacedness promptly started talking about her experiences and she was just talking and talking.

Szabina was always relieved of physical education but now she was riding a bicycle and playing squash. She didn’t seem to be ill. I didn’t spend too much time with her, I saw she was extremely happy and I let her do what she wants.
We said goodbye…

They went walking and I was watching them. I had that good feeling again when a dream comes true and a smile stays with us.

I fell back into weekdays and I started to organize the process of new wish fulfilling like it wouldn’t have been such a big pleasure to me like to Szabina. Days were passing and on Friday my telephone rang.
It was Szabina’s mother…

She was crying, I barely understood her words… I cannot explain what I felt, when we don’t know if it’s a dream or everything happens while we’re awake.
Then I started to understand her words. The first thing I managed to understand was the following thing:


- We’re at the intensive department.

- What happened? – I asked her quaveringly.

- They gave us a call on Tuesday and they said we had to come into the hospital. – Szabina’s mother continued.

- And???

- Szabina had an operation, a donor was found!

- Oh, it’s fantastic! How is she?

- She’s already awake, everything’s all right, we talked to the doctors, it’s them who said that everything’s all right!


We were talking on and we made an arrangement that we’d celebrate it.

But during this conversation my thoughts were somewhere else. I thought of Szabina, her little sincere smile. Her smile will always be sincere from now on because some other kind of sparkling will be in her eyes. From now on she doesn’t have to feel herself different from the others and nobody will have to worry about her just as much as it’s regular. It was an unbelievable feeling. I could have shouted, I wanted to tell it everybody. It came into my mind that a real miracle happened. A small but very important miracle, yes, it’s very important … we’ve got it!


It’s called: „Tiny-huge miracle”!


It was an unbelievable feeling, and it is now, too. I know well that I’ll feel it forever…


Thank you everybody!

We say thank you to Szalajka Liget Hotel in Szilvásvárad for fulfilling Szabina’s wish!
