This week we are celebrating Veryan Bunker’s 19th Birthday. A group of her friends decided that this fundraiser would be a good way to celebrate, and we know that she would be proud of us for it. The charity we have chosen is Cotswold Cats and Dogs home, where Vee volunteered and felt most at home. Please help us reach our goal of £190 and celebrate the birthday of our best friend.

She spread positivity even when she was in darkness, I am forever grateful that I was part of her life. I will never forget her beautiful smile and I will always carry her with me. Happy birthday my angel, from Chi“

“Vee was such a special, beautiful girl and I miss her everyday xxx”

“Oh Vee, where do I begin. Too many memories of tears, laughter, and joy. I remember when you would get me to braid your hair in a cool style that then became your signature style. I remember when we would joke about how Anne said ‘snack time’ or when we played random card games. I miss you gal. Happy 19th angel” ~Libby

“Vee was such a special girl. She was always there to help everyone else, no matter how much pain she was in herself. She honestly made the world a better place xxx”

“Vee gave the warmest hugs and I wish from the bottom of my heart that she could have used those to help so many more animals xx” 

“Vee was one of those people who lit up any room she walked into. She was overwhelmingly caring - whether it was someone she loved, a stranger, or even one of the animals she looked after at Cotswolds Cats and Dogs Home. She devoted herself to helping others, even when she was the one in need. I take inspiration from her every day, as I’m sure everyone who knew her does. She is, and always will be, in our memories and hearts.” ~Hattie

“From the day i met vee she was a huge part of my life, she still is a huge part of my life. I have never met someone with such a big heart and with the ability to make all feel loved. i love you my vee bee.”
