The Truth:
This is a hoax that has caused a great deal of frustration for the good folks at the Make-A-Wish foundation.

Their mission is to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses.

A real example of the story as it has been circulated:

The doctors say I will die soon if this isn't fixed, and my family can't pay the bills.
