Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I fill out an application?
You can download the application here. Once fully completed you can email or fax it back to our office.
How quickly can a wish be done?
This is really a case-by-case situation. Once the application has been received the Wish Facilitator contacts the board for fund approval. (The board usually responds to requests within 24 hours.) If air travel is involved it may take longer to fulfill depending on the availability of flights etc. or depending on the type of wish. For instance, if a trip to a popular tourist destination is part of a wish, accommodations might be limited during high season.
​
However, past wishes have come together in as little as a few days to a week and others have taken three weeks. Our Wish Facilitator will work to ensure your wish is completed as promptly as possible. Keep in mind, how the type of wish and the number of people you want involved with the wish may impact timelines when making your request.
​
Also sending in an incomplete application will slow down the wish being approved.
Does Angels Anonymous Connection grant out-of-country wishes?
We do not support out-of-country travel however depending on the case one one-way tickets may be approved.
Can Angels Anonymous Connection arrange celebrity meet and greets, or celebrity paraphernalia?
We tend to discourage this kind of wish as it is very difficult to arrange for our small team. However, if the wish is to attend a particular concert that might be something we could fulfill. Again, these wishes are looked at on a case-by-case basis so that all factors might be considered to ensure the successful completion of a wish.
What types of expenses will my wish cover?
-
Transportation by air, train, bus, or car (rental or fuel for personal car), and ferry costs.
-
Accommodations in hotel, inns, cabins, etc.
-
Meals and per diems
-
Special event fees, museum, park admissions, spa days, etc.
If in doubt just ask our Wish Facilitator!
Do you have to reside in Canada to receive a wish?
Yes, you have to be a Canadian resident to receive a wish.
Can I help my loved one fill out the application?
Yes, you can help your loved one fill out the application. However, we do not grant “surprise wishes” and the wish recipient must be aware and give permission to contact their attending physician.
Does chronic illness qualify for a final wish?
Unfortunately, with our limited funding we have mandates in place that each wish recipient has to be within their last year of life, which is verified by their doctor.
Can I bring a loved one with me on my wish?
Yes. We do not send anyone alone in case of a medical emergency.
Do you provide travel Insurance?
No, we do not provide travel insurance.
