Last trip to the Baltic Sea: Woman fulfills her big wish with a family

Last trip to the Baltic Sea: Woman fulfills her big wish with a family

On June 24, 2025, a seriously ill woman's heartfelt wish to experience the Baltic Sea again came true. With the Wish car The Workers' Samaritan Association (ASB) went from the hospice to Hohwacht. This trip was an emotional farewell because it was intended as the last trip to the beloved Baltic Sea. There was a special atmosphere at the hotel where she had spent many happy hours with her husband. The urge to say goodbye to the Baltic Sea and life was palpable.

While sitting on the terrace, she enjoyed coffee and cake and listened to the sea in the background. Despite the cold wind, the woman wanted to go to the pier to take a last look at the waves. “Every step was a feat of strength,” a relative quotes, but she took the time for this special moment. Your daughter will carry the images and memories of that day in her heart forever.

Emotional return

After the unforgettable day in Hohwacht, we went back to her husband's nursing home. After many months of separation, the two experienced an emotional reunion. The little plush teddy bear named “Wünschi” that she received on this trip remains as a loving reminder of this special day. According to the report by Moin.de This day is remembered as one of the last, but also one of the most important, in their lives.

The Wish Car project, which has been run by ASB since 2014, has set itself the task of fulfilling a special wish of seriously ill people in the last phase of their lives. How The West reported that Karin's experience, who also had a wish to go to the Baltic Sea, was an example of the great experiences that this initiative makes possible. After a timetable change due to bad weather, she landed in Travemünde, which was ultimately rewarded with sunshine and a beautiful view. The wish car was able to park directly on the beach, which made the family reunion an unforgettable experience.

Support and donations

The stories like the one about the journey of the seriously ill woman and Karin show how important the wish car is for many people. Donations can be made to continue supporting this project. Anyone who would like to help will receive from Wishcar.de Information on donation processing. Important to know: For donations up to 300 euros, it is no longer necessary to request a donation receipt. A simple booking confirmation is enough to prove the tax-privileged purpose.

These emotional journeys make us realize how important it is to realize our final wishes and dreams. Because every farewell is also a piece of joy in life that will be remembered.
