Mamie Laverock closed her GoFundMe and thanked her fans for their outpouring of support – two months after a shocking five-floor fall that left her on life support.
The 20-year-old actress, who is best known for When Calls The Heart, suffered an undisclosed medical emergency on May 11 and was hospitalized.
Two weeks later, she ‘was escorted out of a secure unit of the hospital and taken up to a balcony walkway from which she fell five stories,’ according to a post on her GoFundMe. Her mother has publicly stated the incident not was a suicide attempt.
Donations poured in from her admirers, and her page on the crowdfunding platform raised $39,022 Canadian, which converts to $28333.27 American.
‘Thank you so much,’ Mamie wrote on GoFundMe this week before shutting down her page. ‘I don’t even know what to say. My heart is full. Thank you again. I have no words to describe my gratitude. Love you guys. Thank you. MAMIE.’
