VCF Foundation and Pequeño Deseo foundation make child's dream come true

The club welcome 14-year old Carlos to the Ciudad Deportiva and Mestalla

Carlos, a 14-year-old boy who has been undergoing treatment for cancer, had the chance to meet his favourite Valencia CF player, José Luis Gayà, in a video call earlier this year.

The greeting took place thanks to the VCF Foundation and the Pequeño Deseo foundation, and was built upon just before the Christmas break when the two met in person.

Carlos and his family watched a first team training session at the Ciudad Deportiva , and Gayà handed over a signed shirt. Then followed a trip to Mestalla, to watch a Valencia CF match.

The Pequeño Deseo foundation (www.fpdeseo.org) aims to make the wishes of children with chronic illnesses come true, in order to support them emotionally during their treatment and make their illness more bearable.

It is scientifically proven that the fulfilment of a wish generates positive emotions in the child, which can have an enormous effect on their well-being and physical improvement.
