Wishing Well Foundation

The Wishing Well Foundation USA Inc. is a non-profit organization headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Foundation’s single goal is to bring joy to children with life threatening illnesses by providing them with their fondest wish in life.

Confronted with the tragedy of a family friend with a terminally ill child, the founders, Elwin and Lisbeth LeBeau, comforted their friend as best they could as their friend's child's life slowly ebbed away. That experience left an impression in the LeBeau's lives which caused them to wonder about other critically ill children and their families...families financially unable to provide their ill child with anything other than the basic needs.

Responding to that thought the LeBeau’s learned about some of the charitable organizations reaching out to these children and their families. But as Lisbeth so aptly states, "Can there be too many groups granting last wishes to children with life threatening illnesses". Since there are literally thousands of children in the United States who have unfulfilled wishes, the answer to that question is quite simple.

THERE CAN NEVER BE ENOUGH PEOPLE HELPING!

And so...Utilizing their own funds, the LeBeau’s began reaching out to families of children with life threatening illnesses by establishing the first The Wishing Well Foundation USA Inc., in Louisiana.
