Make a Wish in Australia is an organisation that grants a wish to children with life threatening illnesses.
Is that the case with this young boy? He's very ill and his wish was to go to Bethel?

I don't have all the details, but yes something like that. this was some info that went with it.
The following is a report that Brother and Sister Fuentes wrote regarding the Friday, October 8 2010 Make-a-Wish tour for David Sanchez. The interest and welcome the Bethel Family extended to David and his family was truly heartwarming. David could hardly believe his visit to Bethel was real. Thank you very much for the support and personal interest shown to make this tour for David and his family unforgettable. Here attached are a few of the more 200 than pictures documenting David's visit.
David came with his adoptive grandparents and aunt. David was very happy to be here, his grandfather, David seemed a little apprehensive at first, we later found out that he was not doing well in the truth, he has not been attending all the meetings and is suffering from depression but the grandmother, Dolores was hoping that this visit would help him.
Dolores mentioned that he biological mother had agreed for little David to receive a blood transfusion and this was done. He asked his mother "Why are you doing this to me" she respond that she wanted to keep him alive he said "you are killing me by letting them put blood in me". He has given a good witness to all the medical staff.
When the make a wish foundation came to see where he wanted to go he mentioned that he wanted to go to bethel in New York . The foundation thought that he was being influenced by his grandparents so they took him into a separate room and asked him to draw where he wanted to go. He drew the bindery line with books and Bethelites working as he had seen in the videos about bethel, so they asked where it was he wanted to go and he responded Bethel where they make the books and the Watchtower.
The Bethel family was exceptionally hospitable, every department had something special prepared for him, even though he is so young the family kept him interested and entertained the whole day.
In the Writing Department he enjoyed meeting brother Geoffrey Jackson and trying all his hats, brother John Barr and seeing his train collection, it was moving to see them interact with each other. He also enjoyed meeting brother John Wischuk, who took the time to tour the writing archives with us. At this time the grandfather had warmed up and was very impressed to see that these brothers were taking the time to meet David. Grandma was in tears when David was hugging brothers Jackson and Barr.
At noon a couple was assigned to fix up the lunch table and they did a fantastic job everyone wanted to meet David and he was happy to meet all as well
Something that impressed grandpa was the infirmary he said that he had no idea that Bethel took care of us this way, he did not know that we had doctors and that we took care of our older brother so well, after meeting a few of our elderly on the third floor of Towers.
Lil David was able to keep up with the pace we had for him, at the end he was tired but very happy to have been here, his grandparents were so grateful, especially we noticed that the grandfather's disposition had changed after seeing the hospitality the family had shown them. -

Why use the Make a Wish foundation for this? Couldn't the mother call bethel and describe the situation? Wouldn't they jump at the chance to let this dying young christian boy get a special tour of bethel? Maybe she tried to call but had to use the Make a Wish foundation to get this accomplished? Idk, maybe I'm getting cynical.

Why use the Make a Wish foundation for this?
Because there are a lot of Christians involved in the Make a Wish Foundation.
Bethel would have gave the adoptive grandparents and aunt an airline schedule and told them to cash in any Frewquent Flyer miles they had.
