WE DID IT! Yes, Three weeks after Film & Festivals published the article in their latest issue about The Queen's Suite we have raised our funds and we will also help to set up Stoma Baby as an online charity.

It is great news and everyone involved with the process is extremely happy and proud. We could not have done it without the support of family, friends, and online media platforms such as Film & Festivals.
