My son got a wish through "A Special Wish" a few years ago at age 19- they are a fantastic organization IMO and really helped our family. His wish granter still keeps in touch to see how he's doing. We found that there are very few organizations that grant wishes for someone over age 18- it's rather sad to me as while a child can have a "life threatening condition" with a broad definition of that and still qualify, an adult who truly is terminally ill is not considered. Many of them have lost not only their jobs due to the extent of their illness but also their health coverage as they battle to survive. Their children's lives are in a tailspin both financially and emotionally as they prepare to lose a parent- surely a time when that family also deserves respite and a chance to make last memories. For the OP's friend, perhaps a local church or civic group could have a fundraiser to help this family since they don't qualify otherwise for a wish or perhaps a group that helps DD young adults has fundraisers for trips.---Kathy
