Noosa Boathouse to host party for Ambulance Wish Queensland

Queenslanders are bringing their best to the Ambulance Wish Queensland Cocktail Party Fundraiser, this year coming to Noosa.

Noosa Boathouse will play host to a night of incredible stories of heartwarming love, connections and life perspectives.

All to raise vital funds to fulfil last Wishes for those living with a terminal or life limiting illness, and to ensure that every Queenslander can live every day with care and dignity until their last.

Tickets to this incredible event are on sale now, with many Queenslanders already uniting to make every memory matter.

Ambulance Wish Queensland is the signature program of Palliative Care Queensland. The program is here to support Queenslanders navigating the last moments of their lives by creating unique and unforgettable memories.

It gives hope, comfort and dignity to Queenslanders living with a terminal or life limiting illness, like Elaine, who’s Wish was to visit the Maleny Botanic Gardens and Bird World with her family.

Elaine’s daughter, Vanessa, often reminisces about that day, saying that her Mum talked about it to everyone who would listen.

“I can’t thank the team enough; mum had the most amazing time and talks about it to everyone that comes into her room.”

“I think the work that you (Ambulance Wish Queensland) are doing is invaluable and such a great gift. Mum’s whole world changed when she had something to look forward to again, so for that I will be forever grateful.

“(Ambulance Wish Queensland is) an amazing team, they are the most beautiful, caring, giving people. Really words cannot describe how life change these gifts are to my mother and others in her position.”

Every ticket sold supports more Queenslanders in more areas.

Palliative Care CEO Louise O’Neill said, “Death and dying is something that we all must face. But the way in which we choose how to live in our final moments should always be an option for Queenslanders.”

“Ambulance Wish Queensland opens a door to create new memories that will last forever for adults and children with a life limiting illness and their families.”

“As we grow, we want to ensure that compassionate care is showcased across the state, ensuring that Queenslanders have the comfort and support to tackle their terminal or life limiting Illness to the very end.”
