The Coalition’s programs evolved through a unique union between the Coalition and the Polish children’s Foundation, Fundacja Dziecięca Fantazja, which were both established by the same Canadian founders.

The Foundation began in 2004 and since then its small dedicated team has accomplished over 3,000 wishes and dreams for terminally-ill children. Following the Coalition’s pilot program in 2007 there have been 30 Journeys for a Lifetime – and trips now depart most months throughout the year.
