Wish Granters Mission

Wish Granters mission is to grant the wishes of terminally ill adults in our service area, providing joy, hope, and fulfillment to their lives. We strive to create a compassionate and supportive environment for them, where their dignity and respect are upheld. Our wish-granting program is designed to create lasting memories for them and their loved ones to cherish forever. We encourage compassion, kindness, and understanding towards those who are facing the end of their lives.

 

Wish Granters Vision

Our vision is to create a world where every terminally ill adult in Idaho has the opportunity to experience joy, hope, and fulfillment by granting their deepest wishes. We believe that every person deserves to live their life to the fullest, regardless of their health condition. Through our wish-granting program and growing community partnerships, we strive to bring comfort, happiness, and peace to those who are facing a terminal illness. We envision a world where terminally ill adults are surrounded by love, compassion, and support, and where their wishes are granted with dignity and respect. Our ultimate goal is to make a positive impact on the lives of those who are suffering and to help them create lasting memories that will be cherished by their loved ones forever.

Dennis’s wish was for a guided fishing trip on the Salmon River with his brother. The two brothers had an absolutely amazing time and took home three huge steelheads! We want to give a huge thanks to Roy Akins at Rapid River Outfitters for stepping up to the plate to grant Dennis’s wish, and to the Idaho Outfitters and Guides Association for getting us in touch with him. The brothers said Roy was a wonderful guide with so much knowledge. We also want to thank Scheels for the gift card donation so Dennis & Kirt could have warm clothes for the trip. Last but not least, we want to thank Salmon Rapids Lodge for donating lodging. This wish took a village of support, and we are so grateful for such a generous group of people and businesses! Dennis and his brother made memories to last a lifetime.

Gerda survived Nazi Germany as a child and immigrated to the United States as soon as she was able. Her wish was to preserve her life story before she passes. Our thanks to Hearing our Heritage and to the Knebel family for granting Gerda’s wish. She was so excited the day of the wish, and everyone in attendance found her story to be interesting and inspiring. More details will be provided once the interview has been published so that others can hear Gerda’s incredible story.
