Story

We are so overwhelmed and honored by the outpouring of support this project has received!

Thanks to generous donors like you, we have reached our first two goals and are raising the bar to $15,500 to grant more wishes! Please share our campaign with your social network, so your friends and family can feel the warm satisfaction that comes with granting a dying patient's wish.

Established in June 2018, The Wish Project is funded solely by donations and has served over 55 families. Completely run by volunteers, our organization has cooked last meals, planted trees, and created memorable keepsakes for families. Through these acts we have discovered that even small gestures and gifts can leave strong impressions on our patients and their families. Our volunteers need your help to keep this project going. Our average wish costs just $30, so no matter the size of your donation, you can help give a gift of compassion and dignity to patients and a heartfelt treasure for their loved ones during the most difficult times of their lives.

You can make wishes come true by helping us reach our goal of raising $15,500 from now through January 2021.

Heartfelt words from the families of terminally ill patients granted a wish through The Wish Project:

Thank you. This has touched my heart more than you can imagine. Please keep on doing this for people. It definitely makes the family feel like he wasn't just a chart number, but part of a family.

I was very happy when my father got the root beer. It was the first time he had eaten in days, and it made for a special, memorable day.

The volunteers were both very kind, patient, and compassionate with my sister and I, both leading up to our mom's passing and then afterward. The completed wish was so beautiful and captured my mom perfectly. We are sincerely grateful.

You can offer moments of happiness to those facing terminal illness by giving a gift today and spreading the word about The Wish Project.
