OUR MISSION
To improve the lives of adults suffering from a life-threatening illness through a non-medical, palliative approach. We strive to provide hope and encouragement to patients and their families by offering a therapeutic break from the daily stress and strain that accompanies the illness. By fulfilling wish trips, we hope to create lasting memories that may enhance their quality of life.
WHO WE HELP
Adults, 18 - 65 years of age, suffering from a life-threatening illness (life-threatening: a progressive, degenerative or malignant condition that currently jeopardizes the life of the adult and meets specific medical criteria). We work closely with the treating physician to verify and determine their potential eligibility.
WHO WE ARE
An all-volunteer group of caring and dedicated individuals that came together to organize a nonprofit foundation. Each of us brings something different to the foundation, but we all have the same goal; the desire to make a difference in the lives of adults facing a life-threatening illness.
WHAT WE DO
We provide a wish trip or outing for adults (18 to age 65) with a life-threatening illness. We call them "AWE" events. Wishes can be an evening out to dinner, tickets to an event, a or a vacation to Florida or New Jersey destinations within our partnership networks.
Currently, our services are limited to residents of Florida, New Jersey, and Maryland. *Florida: only full-time, year-round Florida residents are eligible.
