John’s Ambulance Wish was to create Father’s Day memories
On Father’s Day 2025, a special wish came true for John, thanks to Ambulance Wish South Australia and Eldercare. Joined by his daughter Nola, he enjoyed a heartfelt memory-making photo shoot, capturing not just smiles, but a lifetime of stories.
John posed with a cherished photo of his late wife, the love of his life, and included his beloved toy dog, Candy Jane, a loyal little companion who has always brought him joy. He and Nola smiled and laughed for the Ambulance Wish photographer and shared stories and memories with our team.
The sun was out, the mood was full of joy, and happiness filled the air. A wonderful day to celebrate a loving father.
On Father’s Day, John and Nola received their Ambulance Wish SA Memory Pack: multiple memory books, and a USB with all the images to treasure these special moments together.
