The Ambulance Wish Foundation in the Netherlands has a unique mission: taking terminal, immobile patients out from the hospital to fulfill their last wish before dying.

Retired paramedic Kees Veldboer, 60, and his wife, Ineke, a 61-year-old nurse, have made it their job to buy and outfit a fleet of ambulances and recruit over 270 medically trained volunteers to give people one last chance to see the world before they pass on to the next.
