About Ambulance Wish
The History Of Ambulance Wish
Dutchman, Kees Veldboer, while working as an ambulance driver was talking to Mr Stefanutto while waiting for his delayed appointment. Mr Stefanutto, a former sailor, described how he very much wanted to sail on a ship one last time. The following day, Kees fulfilled Mr Stefanutto’s final wish, allowing him to sail around Rotterdam harbour and visit his old haunts. Following this wish, Kees, determined to spread joy and make a difference, decided to establish an organisation that fulfils the last wishes of the terminally ill and bedridden individuals.
On 26 February 2007 Stichting Ambulance Wens was established in the Netherlands as an addition to the care for immobile, terminally ill patients. Too many people die with unfilled wishes – one of the causes is the inability to realise certain wishes because the person is no longer mobile.
The concept created by Stichting Ambulance Wens – Ambulance Wish Foundation – has been introduced across the globe.

We have had the fantastic opportunity to visit them and to form a link across the other side of the world!
