Emotional excursion: wish car fulfills last dreams at Lake Tankumsee

What a moving experience a woman from Wolfenbüttel had when she fulfilled her most fervent wish! The Wish Car, a very special project, helps to give seriously ill people an unforgettable moment in the last phase of their lives. This initiative was launched by ASB Munich in 2016 and has since developed into valuable support for many families. As news38.de reports, the wish car is about giving passengers, who often only have a short amount of time, one last trip to their special places of memory.

Saskia, one of the passengers, recently went on an emotional trip to Lake Tankum in the Gifhorn district, accompanied by her family and friends. This trip, lovingly organized by the volunteers from the Wish Car team, was marked by many happy memories. On this day, Saskia not only enjoyed the beautiful scenery, but also the togetherness with her loved ones. The trip was rounded off with a picnic basket and ice cream after returning to the hospice. For Saskia it was the most beautiful day in a long time, full of emotions, memories and lasting moments of happiness.

Wish car – a project close to the heart

The Wish Car picks up terminally ill people from hospices, palliative care units or even from their homes. The most common wishes are a final view from the mountain top, the sunset at the lake, a visit to a beloved football game or simply returning to the family. All of these experiences are offered free of charge, so that passengers and their companions can concentrate entirely on the special moment. The project is financed exclusively through donations, sponsorships and membership fees from ASB Munich, as asb-muenchen.de explains.

An important part of this project are the dedicated wish fulfillers who, as volunteers, accompany passengers to their desired destinations. The volunteers undergo comprehensive training that covers both legal aspects and how to deal with critical situations during the desired trips. According to [wuenschewagen.de](https://www.wuenschewagen.de/wunscherfueller- Werden/mitmachen), the wish fulfillers also learn how to deal respectfully with the topic of death and dying, which is of great importance in this sensitive work.

Especially in times like these, when many people long for special moments, the wish car impressively shows how valuable time with loved ones is. Every outing is not only a beautiful day, but also a step towards a humanitarian, compassionate society. If you are also interested in this valuable commitment, there are numerous opportunities to get involved as a wish fulfiller and become part of this heartfelt project.
