It seems life is over in the blink of an eye. We are born, we experience, and then we pass away. Oh so quickly life is over.

What about the “I wish I had,” the “if only,” the “I would like just one more…”?

Gifted Wishes gives that “I would like…” to those facing the end of their life.

Your donation helps fulfill a final wish. Visit https://giftedwishes.org/ to help today.
