Adults with cancer can find wish granting support in Michigan through One More Moment if they meet the organization's eligibility guidelines. One More Moment helps adults in Michigan facing Stage IV, advanced, or metastatic cancer create meaningful Moments with loved ones.

If you are ready to begin, visit Request a Moment. If you want to understand eligibility first, review Who Qualifies.

What One More Moment Does

One More Moment is a Michigan nonprofit that grants meaningful wish experiences, called Moments, for adults facing Stage IV, advanced, or metastatic cancer. A Moment may be simple, quiet, personal, or more involved. What matters most is that it is meaningful to the person and the people they love.

Many people search for "Make-A-Wish for adults with cancer Michigan" because they know Make-A-Wish as a widely recognized wish-granting organization for children with critical illnesses. One More Moment is not Make-A-Wish and is not affiliated with Make-A-Wish. One More Moment is a separate nonprofit focused on adult wish granting in Michigan for people facing late-stage cancer.

Who May Qualify

One More Moment reviews each request individually. A person may be eligible to request a Moment if they meet the organization's guidelines, including:

  • The applicant is an adult.
  • The applicant lives in Michigan.
  • The applicant is facing Stage IV, advanced, or metastatic cancer.
  • The request is for a meaningful Moment with loved ones.
  • Support is needed because cost, timing, logistics, health, or resources make the Moment difficult to create alone.
  • Confirmation from an oncology provider may be requested.

Submitting a request does not guarantee approval, funding, timing, or availability. For current eligibility information, visit Who Qualifies.

What a Moment Can Look Like

A Moment does not have to be extravagant to matter. Some wishes for adults with Stage 4 cancer may involve a favorite meal, a family gathering, a short outing, a sporting event, a visit to a meaningful place, or one more quiet afternoon with the people who matter most.

The heart of a Moment is not the size of the experience. It is the meaning behind it.

Who Can Refer Someone

A request may come from the person facing cancer, but they do not have to begin the process alone. A referral may come from:

  • The individual
  • A family member
  • A friend
  • An oncology team member
  • A hospice worker
  • A social worker
  • A church or community contact

How to Request a Moment

To begin, submit a request through the Request a Moment form. The One More Moment team may review eligibility, timing, logistics, safety, available resources, and the requested Moment. The team may also follow up for more information, including confirmation from an oncology provider.

Personal and medical information should be shared carefully. One More Moment uses submitted information to review eligibility and coordinate requests. Learn more in the Privacy Policy.
