What began as a conversation at Assisi Hospice blossomed into a heartwarming journey across Singapore’s southern waters. This incredible story of a yacht trip captures the spirit of wish granting: transforming a fond memory into a spectacular, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Mr Choy’s eyes brightened at the suggestion of a yacht trip, recalling fond memories of a previous outing for his brother’s birthday. The dedicated Ambulance Wish Singapore (AWS) volunteer team, Suyi, Carol, Brendon, Sher Maine, and Ethan, coordinated with Ximula Sail and medical partners to make this dream a reality. With careful planning that accounted for weather conditions and health considerations, the perfect Sunday evening slot was secured for this memorable wish experience.
A Nautical Journey to Cherish
On the day of the wish, despite earlier rain showers, the skies cleared as Mr Choy arrived at the yacht club. He was assisted by Caring Hearts Nursing and Medical Assistance 4U‘s specialist transport, ensuring a comfortable and dignified journey.
Positioned at the yacht’s bow, he enjoyed panoramic views while savouring his favourite foods, including pizza, fish soup, and Coca-Cola. Volunteer Sher Maine’s beautiful violin melodies provided the perfect musical accompaniment to the picturesque sunset, creating an atmosphere of pure peace and joy.
Sharing Maritime Memories
Mr Choy’s deep maritime knowledge shone through as he pointed out various vessels and shared stories of his youth as a lifeguard. Passing Lazarus Island sparked nostalgic memories of test driving vehicles on its rugged terrain. The experience culminated in precious family photographs, capturing joyful moments against the stunning sea backdrop.
This wonderful wish granting experience showed everyone present the enduring power of revisiting happy memories. Thank you, Mr Choy, for sharing your fascinating stories and your beautiful evening with the AWS team.
