Charity supporting terminally ill grants wish of man in 70s to wed girlfriend of 40 years, holds ceremony at lift lobby

The ceremony was attended by Mr Goh’s children, daughters-in-law and grandchildren. Also present for the happy occasion were Mr Goh’s neighbours, nurses, medical social worker from Methodist Welfare Services and his social worker, Philip, who made the event possible by sharing Mr Goh’s wishes to Ambulance Wish Singapore.

In their post, Ambulance Wish Singapore thanked several individuals and organisations who helped put the ceremony together, including volunteers and sponsors, as well as the Registry of Marriages for “expediting the application”.
