    Story

    Victoria's Wish

    "Thank you for visiting Victoria's Wish. This Page is dedicated to our beautiful friend and colleague Victoria Puar ❤."

    So who is Victoria... and why is this cause so important?

    Victoria is a very special person to many people, for many different reasons. Most importantly she is a mother to her two beautiful children Joseph 11, and Lydia 8. She is also a loving wife to her husband Ben, a daughter to Marian, a friend and a colleague to us all at BCH, and blessing to all those lucky enough to have her in their lives.

    Here is Victoria's story:

    Victoria is one of our ward sisters, who has worked on the Cardiology ward at Birmingham Children's Hospital for 20 years. Like many NHS heroes Victoria has dedicated a great deal of time, hard work and commitment to the NHS, particularly throughout the pandemic, missing out on precious time with her family.

    During the pandemic Victoria contracted COVID-19. This appeared to leave her with a long lingering cough, which Dr's assumed to be long COVID. However, this was not the case. Over recent weeks tests have revealed that she actually has stage 4 lung cancer, with limited treatment options available.

    Myself and my colleagues would like to do something extra special for Victoria and her family. We would like to raise enough money to fulfil her dream, to take her children to Disney World Florida, where I'm sure she will be able to create some beautiful everlasting memories for her husband and children to treasure forever!

    "Victoria, Ben, Joseph and Lydia... this page is dedicated to you, from your ward 12 family xxxxxx"

    UPDATE

    "Thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to read, share and donate to Victoria's Wish so far. We have raised a life changing amount of money.

    We have reached our initial goal of £10000, and am pleased to say Victoria and her family will most certainly get to fulfil her dream, and go to Disney World Florida, as soon as she is deemed fit to fly by the doctors.

    Any extra funds will be used to reduce the financial pressure off Victoria and Ben during her fight for survival. This will enable them to continue to make beautiful memories for the children, struggle free !"
