Desire for a final trip to the North Sea: Wolfenbütteler longs to feel the Watt one more time.

In a heartwarming display of compassion and kindness, the ASB-Wishmobile of Lower Saxony recently granted a special wish to René, a patient whose illness has progressed rapidly. The ASB-Wishmobile is an initiative by the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB) dedicated to fulfilling the wishes of seriously ill or terminally ill individuals, bringing joy, comfort, and meaningful moments during their final phase of life.

René, who is usually the one who sets the direction during his trips, experienced an exciting day as the Wishmobile took him on a journey tailored to his wishes. The program included a drive through the mudflats in a beach buggy, followed by a delightful meal of fish patties. After the trip, René expressed his gratitude to the crew, admitting that he was both happy and exhausted from the day's events.

The ASB-Wishmobile organises such trips or outings, aiming to provide personalised experiences for patients. These can range from visits to meaningful places, reunions with loved ones, or simple joyful experiences like a day in nature or attending an event. The initiative uses a specially equipped vehicle, making it easier for those with limited mobility or health challenges to participate in their chosen experience.

The ASB-Wishmobile works closely with hospitals, hospices, and nursing homes to identify patients who would benefit from a wish fulfillment journey, ensuring that the support is timely and appropriate. Beyond the physical trips, the Wishmobile team offers emotional comfort and companionship, helping patients feel valued and connected.

The ASB-Wishmobile of Lower Saxony is seeking support, either by becoming a wish fulfiller or by donating.
