Yet, in many countries today, we do too little, too late, to support families and children and to help nurture strong, healthy relationships. We\u2019ve even created interventions that are so late, prolonged and inappropriate that we sometimes do even more harm to children and families who are already vulnerable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\">Two Wishes believes that we need to do much more, much earlier \u2013 and that we will save money, as well as lives, by doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\">Driven by the voices and views of young people who\u2019ve experienced the systems of yesterday \u2013 children who missed out on their First Wish, to grow up in a healthy, happy family \u2013 we\u2019re bringing together young people, families and professionals around the globe to create and promote the better approaches we urgently need today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\">With representatives on five continents, we\u2019re researching, sharing and promoting the best ideas, practices, pilot schemes and policies from all around the world. And we\u2019re creating an international, public awareness campaign to highlight what everyone can do to help vulnerable children and families, in all their diversity, and give children the brightest possible future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\">Please, help us by becoming a supporter, donor or member of our growing international community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Two Wishes Foundation\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TmcqUPiGKG8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
