Art for Joshy

All the money raised in this auction is given directly to Toni Mitchell and will go towards Joshy's medical and logistical expenses.

For example, a recent day trip to see a doctor in Brisbane cost Toni $250 in doctor's fees, petrol, parking and medicines and at the moment they have to do this trip every week.

Just getting Joshy to Brisbane is hugely traumatic and painful for both Joshy and Toni, but it's something they have to do. Helping them out financially is something we can do.

Joshy Mitchell is an amazing young man who is very sick.

Joshy has multiple disabilities, including Down syndrome, autism, hearing and vision impairment, epilepsy and Hirschsprung's Disease. He has just turned 15 and struggles every day with immense pain.

He spends a lot of time in hospital and has had many operations. In 2014 he had 20 operations, with more in 2015. From his first ultrasound they never expected him to be born, let alone live! He has a spirit determined to live and see the beauty in every day. Joshy is a generous, loving, caring boy.

His mum, Toni, is a dear school friend of mine, who cares for Joshy all day every day. She is, quite simply, the most amazing person I know.
