Make-A-Wish says 'heartbreaking' drop in donations may leave children's wishes unfulfilled

Make-A-Wish Ireland has said a "heartbreaking" drop in revenues means it will not be able to grant every wish it receives from seriously ill children this year.

The charity, which aims to grant the wishes of children aged between three and 17 years living with life-threatening medical conditions, said it had suffered a 30% drop in donations because of the Rehab and CRC controversies.
