20.01.2022 Packing in the study. 3 more boxes out to people already on dialysis this week and then a road trip to Tamworth to fill up the Renal outreach nurses supplies on Friday as they have been busy getting things to the farmers who need it. . Norm would have loved this xoxo

18.01.2022 Have just found out that #egoqv has agreed to send us 240 trial packs to be included in our future boxes. Thankyou so much Rochelle for your help in this one. Xoxox

17.01.2022 And so it begins. Could not have made it this far with out the help of Olive Bourke, the wonderful SRC at O’Connor Catholic College and the financial support of the Armidale Bowling Club. Let’s do this xo

16.01.2022 Boxes and extras delivered to amazing Renal nurses. Our next few boxes will be different going to people on dialysis at home already but on the land and struggling to buy feed for animals, water and supplies. I’ll keep you posted but looking forward to these going where they are so needed . Nicki xo

15.01.2022 Last Friday at a beautiful service in the O’Connor Catholic College Chapel, the first of the boxes where handed over to staff at the Hunter New England Health Renal outreach unit by the awesome SRC of the school and the lovely family of Norm Bourke, Olive and Dee. Thanks so much everyone. Just heard the first 2 patients have been notified of getting a box and they were very thankful for everyone’s support Nicki

13.01.2022 Always choose kindness xox

12.01.2022 Due to overwhelming need in our rural communities at this time, more contents of our boxes are heading out to existing dialysis patients. I am getting low on the contents pictured below. If anyone is happy to donate some please message me or drop them into 210a Rusden street to the Physio practise and the team will look after them for me xox a email from the nurse in charge of Renal outreach said that the joy the supplies have been bringing is amazing. Thankyou so much Nicki

11.01.2022 So excited to receive news that we have two amazing supporters who will help the first 10 boxes go to new dialysis clients in our region. Each box is worth roughly $300 and will contain A blood pressure machine A hospital grade set of bathroom scales Cleaning products that are essential A kitty litter tray ( I’ll explain later ) ... Q.V. body wash ( the only sort that does not cause the abdominal tubing to breakdown ) And more More info to come Nicki

10.01.2022 So excited today to buy the first 10 blood pressure machines and 10sets of bathroom scales. Getting ready for our first 10 boxes to be packed with amazing students of the O’Connor Catholic College SRC. First pictures of boxes and contents coming soon . Xoxo xoxo

05.01.2022 Box 1 put together for a little interview to be seen tonight on prime news at 6 . Yay it’s all coming together xox ps some extra stuff is also included that’s not seen here xox

03.01.2022 Off to deliver another lot of boxes to go all around our region. Thanks to so many people who have made this possible. Ps backseat full too xox #QVSkincare

01.01.2022 People have asked if there is anything else needed for the boxes . And the answer is yes . We would love some of the bottles of Q.V. gentle wash as seen in the photos. For people on peritoneal dialysis they aren’t able to use soap . Q.V. is the best body was for patients as it doesn’t affect the tube in the abdomen these patients have, just as I did when on this form of dialysis. If you are happy to donate a bottle of this just message me and we’ll organise a pick up. Thankyou in advance xoxo any size bottle is great

01.01.2022 So another lot of Q.V. gentle wash going out. At the moment I am just getting things together for people already on dialysis but doing it to tough in the drought. So happy to be able to support them in a very hard time for some , #QVSkincare Nicki xoxox
