Ali’s wish

Ali Van Den Berg was always generous when it came to sharing her time and her energy, even while she spent her final months in the care of Hopewell Hospice on the Gold Coast.

When the 85-year-old was told about the new charity program, Ambulance Wish Queensland (AWQld), she didn’t feel like she needed the service herself, but she wanted to help ensure others would have the opportunity for a Last Wish.

With the support of her nurse Kylie and the hospice, which is part of Wesley Mission Queensland, Ali rallied her friends and family to fill three hampers with donations to raise money for AWQld.

Ali died in the loving care of the hospice at Arundel on February 13.

Hopewell Hospice is now raffling the hampers to help fulfil Ali’s Last Wish to support AWQld and you can make a donation in Ali’s memory to https://www.givenow.com.au/awqld 🙏
