        <potential_impact><![CDATA[<p>A purpose-built portal automates wish request intake, milestone tracking, document handling, and progress notifications. Families gain a clear and supportive interface to monitor wish status, securely share required information, and collaborate with nonprofit staff. This transformation would improve satisfaction, accelerate wish fulfillment timelines, reduce administrative load, improve transparency for donors, and streamline reporting for compliance and grant funding. Direct measurable value includes 60% faster processing, improved family participation rates, and higher donor engagement.</p>]]></potential_impact>
        <problem_statement>Nonprofit organizations such as Make-A-Wish routinely grant life-changing wishes to children facing critical illnesses. However, their wish submission and tracking process is often manual—relying on forms, phone calls, and fragmented communications—which can overwhelm families in crisis and slow response times. Challenges include lost paperwork, incomplete documentation, delayed updates, and difficulty coordinating with multiple partners and family members. This complexity increases emotional stress, introduces compliance risks, and leads to poor transparency, making it harder to measure mission impact and donor engagement.</problem_statement>
