This spring, IGG has pledged to donate $150,000 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, from the sales of Lords Mobile’s specially designed castle skin and an event partnership with a Youtuber. Proceeds from these campaigns will go towards wish granting in six countries, namely Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Philippines and Spain.
Many wishes were postponed due to Covid-19, but IGG and the Make-A-Wish Foundation managed to help grant some wishes in these countries, and filled young hearts with happiness and joy. We're proud to share some of these stories with our gamers!
Brazil
Douglas is a soft-spoken child, and takes a while to warm up to company. He doesn’t talk much, but lights up with passion and enthusiasm when showing us his toy cars. Douglas was diagnosed with hemophilia in his early years, and has had to make changes in his lifestyle. However, he learns quickly, and has adapted well to this change. Douglas’s wish is to own a game that simulates the thrill of driving a real car. When the big day came, Douglas and his family made a trip to Neo Geo World, a store in Interlagos Mall, and spent some happy hours checking out all the toys. "It was an unforgettable day!" Douglas gushed. His mother and grandmother, sitting by his side, were really happy to see the boy's gleeful face.

MJ is a young boy diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. He’s currently undergoing treatment at the Philippine General Hospital. Growing up in Cavite, MJ has never experienced being on an airplane. At the Philippine Airlines Flight Simulation Center, MJ got to experience flying with a flight simulator, and spent the day with three pilots who showed him how to operate a commercial airplane. On that day, MJ wasn’t the only one on cloud nine - everyone else who helped turn his dream into reality were delighted to witness his joy.

She was overjoyed and spent the entire day immersed in the world of her favorite dolls. “Today, her wish was granted,” said Xinyi’s mother. “I can say this has been her happiest day so far. I hope she will always be as happy as she is today, and continue to live life with optimism and enthusiasm.”
