Good samaritan donates 500 to widow denied IVF treatment with dead husband’s sperm

Donna Turner is one step closer to fulfilling her late husband's dying wish[INS ]

New bride, Donna Turner, 32, was left distraught after her local NHS refused to carry out the 3,500 IVF treatment to fulfil her late husband Paul's dying wish because it would make her a single parent.

Mr Turner died from bowel cancer in January 2013, aged 39, just eight months after the couple married. Now good samaritan William Brady has written a 500 cheque to help Mrs Turner get one step closer to raising the cash to have it done privately.

The father-of-two from Addlestone in Surrey, said: "I'm just a sincere well-wisher.

"I love my kids so much and I think this lady should have a chance of having that happiness. If she can't get it through the National Health I would hope she can get it through private means."

Although prompted by his disgust at the NHS's decision Mr Brady said he recently had treatment on the NHS and was keen to stress it was vastly different to Mrs Turner's.

"They were absolutely brilliant to me, I can't speak highly enough of the staff.

"But I am disgusted at some of the cases where the National Health is very selective about who they're going to help. I just think it's totally wrong.

"This lady, through no fault of her own, has lost her husband and wants to have his child and she should be given that opportunity," he added.
