Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Health, Patient & Family Support

Mission: Our mission is to improve the lives of adults suffering from a life-threatening illness through a non-medical, palliative approach. We strive to provide hope and encouragement to patients and their families by offering a therapeutic break from the daily stress and strain that accompanies the illness. By granting wish trips we hope to create lasting memories that may enhance their quality of life. The mission of Infinite Heroes is to provide respite trips (“Gratitude Tours”) to active duty military and veterans that have been combat-wounded and are permanently disabled, and/or mobility impaired, or have a service related life-threatening illness. In addition, We have new programs underway to assist veteran organizations that assist homeless veterans.

Infinite wishes is the kindest and most compassionate nonprofit. I was giving the gift of a trip to a place where I had spent every childhood summer. A place where my memories are filled with my parents. A place I wanted to share with my youngest daughter,my sister and neices. Infinite wishes made that hope and dream a reality. We spent an amazing weekend in Wildwood New Jersey. Infinite wishes put love into the trip. My parents had died when I was a teen/young adult so I know how very precious memories are for children.

Being terminally ill dreams are all you hold onto sometimes. But when that dream becomes a reality due to the love and caring of Donna and all that of the infinite wishes team those memories we made are something myself and my daughter will hold dear. What they've done for us is beyond anything anyone has ever done for me.

When my battle is over I will rest easier knowing that my daughter has the memories we made together to hold on to. And infinite wishes Donna has grown into an amazing friend who reaches out to see how I am and a compassionate ear to listen.

My trip from infinite wishes also helped me to regroup and fight harder. My doctors are amazed I'm still fighting. Infinite wishes is proof an act of kindness ,sprinkled with love can change the world for one person. I'm forever grateful for their thoughtfulness and compassion.

I have volunteer for Infinite Wishes since 2015. My heart has been full over the years being able to give just a brief moment for our recipients to take a break from everyday life full of treatments. It's amazing to be part of an organization; although small, but doing big things.

Hi, My name is Andrea Casazza who would like to tell you about an incredible foundation I came across. Where do I begin and how do I begin to tell you all what Joan's Wish Foundation, Infinite Wishes Foundation has meant not only to me but to my friends and their families.

It all started when a few of my friends who are like my family were given the news no one wants to hear; you have cancer! I knew at that moment, I needed to support them like they've supported me through my husbands cancer diagnosis and my sons cardiac issues. I started researching and struck gold.

Not only were they supporting cancer diagnoses, but cardiac, lung and other disorder and diseases as well. I knew I had to act immediately. I reached out to them and in no time at all; I received a call back from Lisa Frick. She was so calming and let me vent to her about why I was reaching out. I never knew that such places and foundations really did exist with such solid gold hearts. I was able to breathe and express my concerns and need for assistance for my friends. No time during this call and other calls to Lisa was I ever thinking about my mom & husbands cancer diagnoses or my sons heart issues. It was about how can I help my friends who are also raising a child with autism.

Lisa's voice was so calming, she explained to me what they do, who they do it for and immediately jumped in to action on the information to help my friends and their families out. First care packages were sent out, she supplies me with names of others who help with each situation and wishes.

When Lisa asked me straight out, who is helping you out with everything you're dealing with. I laughed and said, me and then proceeded to tell her this ISN'T about me, but it's about helping out others in need. That's how I grew up and was emulating what I learned through my parents.

What Joan's Wish Foundation does is priceless, immeasurable, generous and is done with love and compassion.

I thought I won the lottery with my new husband and my son; but speaking with Lisa Frick and Donna, I knew that this foundation is worth more than gold. They wear their solid gold hearts on their sleeves day in and day out and grants wishes to people and their families who have horrible health issues and makes their family's day or days something to look forward to, make precious memories and grants generous items people have on their wish list.

Lastly, trough my numerous crying conversations with Lisa over the past few months, Lisa informed me that my son and husband are both eligible for a weekend getaway to Cape May. Telling Lisa that I didn't reach out to her for my family, but I was reaching out for my friends and their families. She and I both laughed and said, well, the caretaker can't always be the one on the giving side and doing for others. To make a really long story shorter, Lisa and Donna are the most incredible people that I'm so blessed to know and to now be a part of their foundation.

If there is any foundation that is eligible for a grant or grants; please make them a priority and the best candidate. My life has so much more meaning and more to be blessed with and about because of these kind, loving, generous and compassionate foundation. Sending with much love.

I have been a volunteer for infinite wishes foundation on and off when I’m available over the past 10 years, every recipient of this nonprofit organization has been completely grateful and satisfied with their wish experience that the foundation provided on their specific wish.
Lisa Frick is very involved with each request and recipient and takes the organization to a greater level every year based on the generous donations that the sponsors provide.

I cannot say enough about the kindness and “hands on” this non profit gives!! Kids Frick and her team work tirelessly in finding the best place to donate!
Lisa actually calls me to ensure where donations are going!
This isn’t some “whatever, wherever” donation site! These people are on top of events and finding the best use for donations!
I have comfort knowing that monies are going in the direction they are needed most. As a side note, Lisa is great if you know where you want your donation to go! And she follows up with me’
Can’t say enough good on this foundation ❤️

As the Executive Director and Co-Founder of Inifnite Wishes Foundation, I can honestly say that we are a team, and our success is shared by having tremendous volunteers in our organization. We are nothing with our volunteers. On every level we have an amazing group that dedicate their time and talent to make us what we are today. From event volunteers, administrators, advisors, coordinators, and event support, our volunteers rock!

I also have the most amazing Co-Founder and President, Donna, and Vice President, Al, that handle the administration and decision-making aspect of the charity. We are so blessed to have this amazing group of people that help us continue to make the magic happen.

As an all-volunteer nonprofit, I could not be more proud of the things we have accomplished since 2015. We all make a difference in the lives of those we touch - one wish at a time.

My name is Bob Toffry and I am a 20 year Navy Veteran who is currently experiencing an illness from my service.
Lisa and her Foundation afforded my Wife and I the opportunity to participate in the "Infinite Wishes Heros Gratitude Tour" of the Kennedy Space Center.
I was referred to the "Foundation" from another Military Veteran.
Lisa from the Foundation reached out to us and provided details of the "Heroes Gratitude Tour".
She signed us up for the Tour. We were happy to be able to attend this wonderful experience along with our dog. The resort that was provided was a pet-friendly resort.
My wife and I were given the opportunity to meet a famous Astronaut and got his autograph.
We took the bus-tour, had lunch, and got multiple gift cards which made the entire event nice.
I reccommend this foundation to anyone who has been honorably discharged and who may have obtained an injury or illness.
Lisa's work with the Foundation is great.
Thank you,

Lindsey was diagnosed with Ewings sarcoma in July 2023. After 5 cycles of chemo at UF shands in Gainesville she had surgery on 11/9 at Mayo to remove most of her right fibula as this was the location of her malignant tumor. About a week before the surgery my friend in VA found Infinite wishes online and contacted Lisa. She was able to make our wonderful weekend a reality within about 2-4 days! What a great break from reality for us before her surgery was performed.( They wound up removing 11cm of her fibula)We felt pretty normal for that day at the Kennedy Space Center and better yet, Lindsey felt like a VIP! Such a generous gift to us Thanks so much for giving us some joyful memories during such a stressful time.

My name is Marshall and I’m a disabled Veteran that served in Iraq.

Where do I begin?

Five stars and a flowering review does not adequately account for the dignity, courtesy and compassion that Lisa and her Foundation afforded my family and I.

My name was forwarded to Infinite Wishes from another Non-Profit who believed that she could help me.

During the intake and interview process, I was asked what I would like to do for a Gratitude Tour. It took her a little bit of effort to convince me that I actually qualified for her Foundation’s services.

She presented the options to me and I told her that I could neither afford the expense; much less the time (because of other factors). I was also embarrassed to ask her for anything for myself.

She then strongly insisted that we then do something for my children.

As my boys are both enthusiastic about the exploration of space, we were afforded a trip to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

There was no detail that she left unturned. My children even got to meet a famous Astronaut who made history and significant contributions “For All Mankind.”

I’m getting choked up and a little emotional right now; as I can’t say thank-you to Lisa enough.

Many people tell me :”Thank you for your Service.”

Lisa is one of the few who truly gets it.

A Life-Changing Experience: Our Gratitude Tour with Infinite Wishes Foundation

Our family recently had the extraordinary privilege of being part of the "Gratitude Tour" offered under their Infinite Heroes program. This experience, turned out to be nothing short of life-changing.

My husband, a Retired and Disabled Veteran with 28 years of service, faced the challenging transition back to civilian life, marked by the burden of Combat-related PTSD. The stress and strain took a toll on our family, making it increasingly difficult to take time off from our daily lives. However, thanks to the Infinite Heroes program, we were granted a much-needed break that not only provided relief but also strengthened the bonds within our family.

The impact of this experience is immeasurable. It gave us the strength to face our challenges, filled us with hope, and brought clarity of mind that is helping us move forward in life. We are still enjoying the lasting benefits of our Gratitude Tour, making it evident that the impact goes beyond the duration of the trip.

A key figure in making our experience truly special was Lisa, who led the coordination and execution of the tour. Her attention to detail and unwavering dedication to ensuring our time was unforgettable was truly out of this world. It was evident that her commitment to our well-being extended far beyond the actual trip, as she continues to show genuine care and support in numerous ways. Lisa's heart is clearly invested in everything she does, and her efforts have left a permanent mark on our lives.

We find ourselves at a loss for words when trying to express the depth of our gratitude for the incredible opportunity provided by the Infinite Wishes Foundation. The generosity exhibited by the entire organization, is nothing short of a blessing. We are sincerely thankful for their commitment to supporting veterans and their families.

In closing, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Infinite Wishes Foundation and all those who contribute to its noble cause. May God continue to bless your generosity, allowing more families to benefit from the profound impact of the Gratitude Tour and similar programs.

When Infinite Wishes heard of my Daughter-n-laws cancer diagnosis, immediately a variety of assistance was offered. This is a tremendous gift when crisis hits home. The foundation supplied our son and his wife with several meals from Omaha Steak. What a huge help to them this has been. Infinite Wishes has also been working with them to plan a trip. It will be nice for them to get away for a few days and escape the stress of her unfortunate diagnosis.

She set it up so we can participate in the beautiful flag ceremony.. That was the most memorable evening.. Lisa and Infinite Wishes can’t do enough for the clients they bring there.. Lisa makes sure it’s a worry free stay and every need is met.. Lisa called us countless times on that trip to make sure we’re comfortable and our needs are being met..

The caring folks at Infinite Wishes Foundation found a niche of worthy yet underserved people: adults, including military personnel and first responders, who were going through hard times due to health problems and other issues.
Those individuals and their families are lavished with love, respect, support and gifts -- both tangible items and/or experiences designed to lift spirits and lighten burdens.
In short IWF offers a reprieve from struggles and stress and allows people to leave their troubles behind for a while and relax. There is no way to measure the power or benefits of such a gift.

Thank you so much Infinite Wishes/Heroes Foundation, and especially Lisa Frick, Executive Director. As a Vietnam veteran Infinite Heroes provided my wife and I a two day gratitude tour of Sarasota Florida. We were provided lodging at the Comfort Inn in Sarasota, we then visited the big cat sanctuary along with the Ringling brothers Masion, museum, gardens and art exhibit. The evening was capped off with a sunset flag ceremony on Siesta Key beach. Myself and two other veterans were invited to fold the flag, the flag was then gifted to “Gratitude America” to be used in their program to assist veterans. Then lastly, a tour of the Kennedy space Center which was amazing, if you haven’t been there you must make an a point to go. Thank you again to everyone who made this possible.

After my breast cancer diagnosis and treatment in 2018 (second to cervical cancer in 2013), I had the honor of being gifted a little getaway to Universal Studios with lodging at the Marriott Vacation Club for my husband (boyfriend at the time) and I. Until we had that time away, I didn’t realize how much it was needed. I felt undeserving of such an incredible gift. We had a fabulous time!!! Lisa made sure everything was taken care of and we were treated like royalty! I now help with volunteering in any way I can from north central FL to help with Infinite Wishes / Heroes.

Lisa is a one-of-a-kind lady that has put her heart into Infinite Wishes and Infinite Heroes. Her father was a Veteran. She has the up most respect and gratitude for Veterans and their service.

Lisa is a cancer survivor, and she knows that not everyone is that lucky. While many are battling their disease/illness, the Infinite Wishes Foundation tries to make life a little easier for them through a small getaway to forget the bad and make good memories with their loved ones.

I volunteer and help where I can, towards this great organization but not nearly enough; work gets in the way! I was blessed with a gratitude tour to the Kennedy Space Center, as there was a last-minute cancelation for that venue. What a surprise when Lisa reached out to me. We were esthetic and honored to accept this gift!

Irene and I thoroughly enjoyed it, from the beautiful resort (Thank you Troy and Ann Marie) to the awesome full day at Kennedy Space Center (Thank you Shelby for arranging the trip and for changing our day adventure so that we could be there for a potential launch). On top of that we had a great dinner with fireworks (compliments of the SpaceX launch) and all. Once again, we were thrilled to have had this great opportunity to experience such an event.

Now that we are home, we are planning a family dinner with the kids and grandkids. With one of the bountiful and delicious meals provided by Krista and Shay Black, owners of Southern Steer Butcher on Bee Ridge Rd. Thank you.

Thank you to everyone involved. From the Founders, the volunteers, and all the people donating large and small. You make this a top nonprofit organization that keeps helping more men and women.

I can’t say enough about Infinate Wishes Foundation.. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019 and a volunteer from the foundation found me through Facebook .. Since then it’s been an ongoing and growing relationship.. The work the foundation does is amazing and Lisa put her heart and soul into what she does… I am now a part of this foundation and I look forward to being able to help someone and bring a smile to their face just like they did for me…

As a very thankful business owner, I believe in the philosophy of giving back whenever and where ever we can. In considering the best recipients for our philanthropy, we came across Infinite Wishes and were moved by the incredible work they do with adults (and military personnel and first responders!) who have medical issues and are in desperate need of a mental break to cope with all of their stress. While we have donated to children's charities that offer similar family breaks, we were intrigued by Infinite Wishes and their acknowledgment that adults are also suffering and are equally in need of support. Over the past several years, we are proud to have helped Lisa and Infinite Wishes through donations of money, timeshares, and hotels, and we will continue to be active supporters as long as their incredible work continues.

We wholeheartedly pledge our support and endorsement for Infinite Wishes. Our sincere wish is that you will never require or need their assistance, but we're very fortunate that they exist to help those in need. Infinite Wishes is the official charity of Intricity, LLC., and we're honored to be an active supporter of this fine organization.

Thank you, Lisa, and Infinite Wishes for all of the hard work and dedication!

Troy, we appreciate your generosity and support. We could not do what we do without the support of people like you and Intricity, LLC. You have helped us provide respite trips for our adults as well as veterans, and our partnership has allowed us to give to others in a way we never dreamed possible. We can't thank you enough!

Infinite Wishes/Heroes is a fantastic organization. As a combat Veteran there are lots of non-profit resources available but Infinite Heroes gratitude tours are next to none. I had the pleasure of being a recipient of a gratitude tour in the summer of 2020. Everything was taken care of from lodging, meals, activities, spending money, and even gas. My family enjoyed an exciting a restful stay in beautiful Sarasota - we didn't want to leave. I highly recommend this charity to donors and especially to Veterans who served our country honorably.

A Foundation with heart and a drive that embraces everyone. Lisa and Donna give their all. Lisa works tirelessly and never stops. She is always looking for opportunity to help people! As a friend, she is a true gem. This Foundation does what they say and many are better off in their moment, for it.

Being a person who always helped out with local charity events and gave a little here and there, when I could afford a little, I decided to attend an old HS friend's charity event. I saw the wonderful things the Infinite Wishes Foundation had done for people who were suffering from life threatening illnesses. So, I dug a little deeper into my pocket to help out, once again. Later that year I was diagnosed with Cancer and found myself fighting and struggling with the reality that is being a Cancer patient. I am not one to embrace the drama, but I found myself sinking emotionally and dreading the next disappointing report. All the while I tried to maintain a positive outlook.
Then I was talking with Lisa (who was a founding member) and she said, "you know we can help you feel better, that's what we do!" Somewhat embarrassed, I acknowledged her statement and then asked her how she could help me?
Ultimately, she and her team arranged for me to take a vacation from the treatments and my day-to-day environment, allowing me to free my mind from the many painful realities, and it gave me a renewed sense of freedom. I was able to see the beauty of everything. Everything around me and even find a way to make the treatments progressed.
The great things they do for people who are involved in fighting battles to survive (whatever they may be) are truly uplifting! sometimes they can only do something small, like sending food to someone who is in need. But every small act seems to be met with such joy...I know others Cancer survivors who have told me that they too were pleasantly surprised by the kindness found in the acts of caring they received from Infinite Wishes!
I am greatly appreciative for all they did for me! Thanks for all the help!

I first met Lisa Ann in our high school days Some 30 years later We are both living in Florida and got together; we were catching up on what we’re doing with our lives. When she told me about infinite wishes and have it all began with Joan I was simply amazed not people would do that and then on top of that to create a foundation to help people in need simply amazing. It was that at that point that I mention a few friends that were in need without hesitation Lisa Ann and infinite wishes sent out a gift package of Omaha steaks to help relieve some of the financial burden and cost associated with an illness.
The topper of it all as I said in the beginning we were catching up on our lives I had mentioned that I have COPD and I am not working due to Covid as I am a high risk due to my condition not thinking anything of it. Next thing I know I received.
Lo and behold through the Generosity of infinite wishes foundation and Lisa Ann I to also received a delivery of Omaha steaks to help my family financially.
I am truly grateful for this generous gift .
With the prices of food being so high this will go along way thank you infinite wishes foundation and Lisa Ann
