How One Child's Passion for Art and Love for Family Made a Difference

Meet Victoria, an impressive 11-year-old whose birthday celebration took a truly inspiring turn. In lieu of traditional presents, Victoria made a heartfelt decision to raise funds for Seniors and Veterans at Perley Health.

Victoria was driven by her passion for art, and her deep connection to her Grampie, Harold Miller, a revered RCAF Veteran who became a resident at Perley Health in January 2023. Before his health declined, Harold was an avid woodworker, crafting impressive aircraft models that filled the hearts of his grandchildren with wonder. He now enjoys spending time in the Perley’s woodworking studio.

Victoria’s dedication to her Grampie, and her belief in the transformative power of creativity led her to present an incredible gift of $500 for the Veteran’s Creative Arts Program. Through her selfless act, Victoria has not only brightened the lives of those at Perley Health, but also inspired us all with her compassion and generosity.

As we celebrate Victoria's incredible gesture, we are reminded of the profound impact that each of you, our cherished supporters, has on our mission. Your unwavering dedication as participants, donors, sponsors, and volunteers fuels the positive change we strive for every day, bringing joy and comfort to the lives of Seniors and Veterans at Perley Health.

From all of us at the Perley Health Foundation, thank you for being at the heart of our mission.
