Farewell Lunch For Mom

Beneficiary: Holly, aged 50
Wish journey: November 8, 2017

The first case of Project Amen is to assist Holly, who was suffering from the last stage of cancer, to host a lunch for her mother to express her gratitude.

Holly’s mobility was wheelchair bounded, and she had given up treatment. 

She initially decided to treat her family with dinner to express her gratitude. 

Unfortunately, her health was getting worse. She could only thank her mother. 

She called for help after she saw the founding news of the BASIC Foundation.

Our volunteers put together a lunch with her favorite food and bouquet within a few days. Then, upon invitation, famous chef, Ricky Cheung,  delivered his dessert in person. Holly said our visit brought colors to her life. Two weeks after, she rested in peace with the Lord.

On that day, there is no extravagance, no deluxe restaurant decor, no silver tableware and the tablecloth is just a plastic sheet. We just buy some takeaway and put it into the bowls. "I am sorry that I am not in good condition to welcome you even it is my first time to meet you.", Holly holds my hand and says. Thank you, Holly, you make me realize how strong you can be, and the immense love to your mother.
