Request A Wish
For over 20 years, your donations, sponsorships, and volunteer support have all played a crucial role in the success of Angels Anonymous's ability to fulfil a last wish. Together, we allow those with little time left to achieve something they never thought possible.
A completed wish not only brings joy to the recipient but also creates shared memories for their families.
Types of Wishes We've Fulfilled
-
A recipient's desire to return home to be surrounded by the love of family rather than to die alone in a hospital.
-
Dying parents make their final dreams about their children with special experiences or trips for them, as children face the reality of losing their mom or dad.
-
A single parent will often include a person, who is to become the children's guardian, as a way to strengthen the bond between them.
-
Wishes of reconciliation and reunion between family members bring peace to a recipient in their final days.
-
Weddings between the recipient and the love of their life.
-
Married couples have one last trip or date night together.
-
Families gather in celebration one last time to honour their loved ones while they're still here.
-
Achieve bucket-list dreams like attending a favourite sports team event, riding a horse, or seeing the Rocky Mountains.
Each dream fulfilled has a ripple effect as it brings peace, comfort and cherished memories to the recipient and their families.
Your support offers them hope, love, and joy amid heartbreaking circumstances.
A wish recipient's gratitude for your dedication to making their dream come true cannot be expressed in words, but know that your support has truly made a difference in many lives.
