The following is extracted from Veronika: How adversity can lead to success

I came to the UK in 1998, initially for three months to improve my English while I was still studying at a university in the Czech Republic. However, things took a different turn and I have settled down in Reading. Then I started to travel for business and personal reasons between England and mainland Europe. The beginnings in the UK weren’t easy for me. I wanted to continue studying, but the fees were too high, and finding work wasn’t easy either. After a few years, the situation started to improve and has been going well ever since. I think the initial difficulties were partly due to my young age but also because of the very different situation in Europe during the late 90s, where people had to get used to coexisting with “new foreigners”. [...] I even think, “Oh gosh, I have four kids! How did I do it?” We have been fortunate that all four children are very good and this makes it easier to balance family and work. Still, there were difficult times and many sleepless nights with Victoria, our eldest daughter, who has severe disabilities. It wasn’t just about caring for her with endless travels to doctors; searching for help and a cure for her but also reaching the point where we had to accept that we have a special child and she will always be unique. I’m trying to find more time outside of work to spend with my children. Having my fourth at a later age, late in life, and looking back at the older three, I realise how time flies and the lives of these little people are magical and we should spend more time with them.

Entry in Me2 Club

Veronika Keates
Hi, my name is Veronika Keates and I am a mother of three beautiful girls. Our eldest daughter Victoria is disabled with special needs and we always wanted her to be included with other children. When we were introduced to the Me2 Club the opportunity arose that our Victoria could join the local Brownies with the help of a volunteer. The happy smile on her face the first time we picked her up from Brownies was priceless and this happiness continues to date :) Why did I get involved with Me2 Club Committee? It’s simple, it’s not just about taking it’s also about giving and I wish to make more children like Victoria happy and able to take part in the activities many of us would think were not possible.
