Hometown Stories - Season 12 Episode 18 The Final Journey
"The Car of Hope" is a volunteer project that helps terminally ill patients visit one last place that is special to them in their final days. A terminal cancer patient in his 70s wants to take his wife to a flower garden once more. A husband wants to take his severely ill wife to an aquarium, so she can forget her illness for a while. A nurse who accompanies them on the trip says it's a journey of hope that allows patients to live out their life as they used to do. We follow them on their final journey.
