Wish car in South Baden: Last dreams become reality!

In the South Baden region, the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB) is fulfilling the last wishes of seriously ill people with a unique project. The Wish Car, which has been active since 2014, has taken a total of 19 unforgettable trips this year. From visits to amusement parks to emotional family reunions, the travel wishes are as diverse as the life stories of those affected. Press spokeswoman Sandra Wolf reports that the high demand does not go unanswered, as every request is responded to within 24 hours. “Unfortunately, death does not wait,” emphasizes Wolf, adding that there were 60 requests this year - many of which remained unfulfilled because some of the requesters died before the trip began.

Help through donations and volunteer work

The Wish Wagon is a donation-based service supported by the commitment of approximately 64 volunteer wish granters, primarily from the healthcare sector. These volunteers accompany the seriously ill passengers and ensure that they can enjoy precious moments with their families. Wolf calls on people to express a wish in good time in order to take advantage of the chance to go on a trip. The offer is free, which sometimes leads to uncertainty. Wolf notes that many people don't know that the quality of fulfillment is high and she hopes that the project will be better known: "It improves quality of life," she says.

The wishes that are fulfilled are often of great emotional importance. Visiting weddings or special family gatherings can help people say goodbye and create beautiful memories. However, many people don't know that the dream car is a real possibility for them. The initiative aims to raise awareness in order to reach more families and those affected, as well as in a comprehensive manner Press release of the ASB Südbaden is emphasized. Creating these important memories in the final stages of life is critical and should be pursued by everyone who needs it.
