Toowoomba and South West Ostomy Association

I work part time for a charity. And have done so for 7 years.
In that time I have met and worked with some absolutely sensational people.
One of those people is Emily.
Emily is a Stomal Therapy Nurse (STN) here in Toowoomba. The love and caring she has for her patients is like nothing I have seen before. It's a trait all STN's seem to have.
And now, she is not well.
If you can, please help her out. It's Nurses like her who go above and beyond to help other people, through their own journey.

This is a fundraiser for our best mate Emily Day, who is 44 years old. She is a mum of three beau… Fran Stowers needs your support for Help Emily fight cancer
