"3 Wishes Project" Sign-Up Form

The "3 Wishes Project" at Boston Medical Center seeks to fulfill the wishes of patients who are nearing death in the ICU setting. This program’s goal is to dignify death and dying for patients hospitalized in the ICU and to create positive final memories with their families. 

This program is rooted in creativity and many of the wishes involve an artistic component. The wishes may range from musical performances to creating art to commemorate the patient for their families. 

If you are interested in becoming a partner to this project (either as a one-off or longitudinally), have a desire to help fulfill the last wishes of ICU patients, and are interested/experienced in any abilities listed below, we welcome you to volunteer with us!

  • Painting 

  • Drawing

  • Poetry/Writing 

  • Photography

  • Music (singing and instruments)

  • Arts & Crafts

  • Beauty (Nail art, Hair, etc.)

  • Crocheting, Knitting, Sewing

  • Any other talents!

We encourage all interested individuals to fill out the form below, as signing up simply enables you to be informed about potential wish fulfilling opportunities that you may decide to contribute to as your schedule allows. (It must be noted that some of these requests will be time sensitive as patients may pass soon after making these wishes, therefore if selected, schedule flexibility is appreciated.) 

Question can be directed to Dr. Danby Kang (Danby.Kang@bmc.org) and Samantha Watts (slwatts@bu.edu)
