The critical illnesses that qualify kids for a wish often exclude them from being able to secure regular travel insurance.
Blue Cross proudly provides the necessary coverage to deliver protection from significant operational costs associated with granting wishes involving travel.
This helps Make-A-Wish Canada turn more wishes into reality!
Each wish provides an escape from reality, signals a return to normalcy, and provides hope for better times ahead.
Our support of Make-A-Wish provides comprehensive travel coverage so that children and their families can enjoy a worry-free vacation.
According to physicians, it can positively impact a child’s emotional, physical and mental health throughout their treatments.
Having a critical illness is a time of unimaginable stress and worry, not just for the kids themselves, but for the entire family.
In the event of any unforeseen circumstances during their travels, we’re here to help.
