The desire to make the most of someone’s final moments – both physically and mentally – isn’t uncommon at all. We send sick kids to Disney World all the time, and World War II veterans to Pearl Harbor and Washington D.C., hoping to give them a positive experience when they need it most.
And it works; the American Psychiatric Association showed 80% of recipients reported a greater sense of well-being, proving how valuable positive experiences are in end-of-life care. And while we’re more accustomed to Disney and D.C. trips making headlines, there’s one organization working quietly behind the scenes to make all kinds of dreams come true for terminally ill adults.
