As time passed, the Whistler Independent Supported Housing Society (WISH) grew from a simple idea into a powerful mission. Back in 2019, a group of families in Whistler shared a dream – to build a cozy home for their loved ones with developmental disabilities. That’s how WISH started, with a straightforward goal: to provide safe, independent housing for young adults who deserve a place to call home.
Facing Challenges:
Building this dream home comes with its fair share of challenges. WISH is working hard to overcome affordability issues and the complexities of working with local and federal organisations. Despite the hurdles, the families behind WISH are determined to push through, fueled by their unwavering passion and focus on the ultimate goal.
Community Involvement:
WISH isn’t just a dream – it’s a community effort. From fun pizza parties to lively silent auctions, the Whistler community is standing strong behind WISH. A major boost came on November 22, 2023, when WISH received a seed capital donation from 100 Women Whistler. This funding is a game-changer, helping WISH move forward with a solid plan to turn their dream into reality.
What Comes Next:
WISH welcomes everyone to be part of this heartwarming journey. Whether you want to volunteer, fundraise, or simply spread the word, every bit helps bring us closer to creating a haven where everyone can thrive.
