About Workers4Wishes
W4W is a registered charity that is dedicated to granting wishes to children in New Brunswick, who face a life-threatening or life altering illness. Originally comprised of volunteers from the local building trades unions as well as family & friends, in time we added community partners from local business across Saint John and even Canada. We take pride in working personally with the child and family to create custom wishes. Because W4W is run by volunteers, funds raised can go directly to donating wishes.
