We know that there are other programs out there with missions similar to ours. Although not as common as wish granting organizations for children, other adult wish granting organizations do exist and we think with a mission like ours there’s room for all of us! It’s safe to say that we all want to give adults with life-limiting cancers the same thing: something to look forward to – whether it’s checking an item off the proverbial bucket list or giving someone a chance to pursue a lifelong dream. We’ll let your medical team deal with the physical disease, while we strive to provide you and your loved ones with an emotional elixir that we hope grants you the serenity to accept the things you cannot change and to enjoy your dream, whatever it may be, to the fullest.
We do have some simple guidelines for eligibility.
It is our goal to grant as many Escapes as we can in a calendar year based on our annual budget and our ability to raise funds to support our mission. Please note that we do have some limitations and the following requests will not be considered:
Life Is Good No Matter What does not receive any state or federal funding at this time. Instead, we rely on the generosity of our donors to help us fund our mission. In order for us to be diligent with our resources and to serve as many people as possible, we ask that applicants be realistic about what we are able to fulfill.
If you are eligible for an Escape, we encourage you to apply.
If you desire to travel via airline as part of your Escape, please keep in mind the following:
Currently the majority of our patients are referred through their medical team. In order to be considered, you must meet our recipient criteria and you must follow all of the instructions set forth in our application process.
In any cases of travel and public outings, please note there is an assumed higher risk of COVID-19 contraction, especially with cancer patients with weakened immune systems. While escapes are selected and agreed to by the recipient and their physicians, and while Life is Good No Matter What will make special note to communicate to the vendors to take their government-mandated appropriate steps to ensure higher levels of safety during this time, Life is Good No Matter What will not assume responsibility for this decision and/or its potential impact on the health and safety of recipients and/or any negative consequence health-related or otherwise assumed by third-party vendors. To accept any benefit from Life is Good No Matter What will be a personal choice acknowledged by the recipient with the right to refuse. Should the recipient be nominated for an escape and refuse due to health precautions, another option will be presented to them.
