Canadian actress Mamie Laverock, known for her work on the Hallmark Channel’s television drama series “When Calls the Heart,” has been placed on life support due to “life-threatening injuries” she sustained from a five-story fall, according to a GoFundMe page created by her family. “Nicole traveled to Winnipeg to help Mamie, who was having a medical emergency. Nicole was able to get there in time to save her life.
Then got her to a hospital in Winnipeg. Mamie has since been transferred to [a] hospital here in Vancouver. Her recovery is unclear at this time but she is alive and is showing signs of improvement,” the statement reads.
“We are trying to go every day to support her,” the couple continued. “Any contributions would help us be by her side. But this could be upwards of a month or more.
” However, the family later shared an update on the GoFundMe page, which had garnered $17,534 Canadian dollars ($12,848) in donations as of Tuesday evening. “We are deeply saddened to report that on May 26th, Mamie, who has been in intensive treatment for the past two weeks, was escorted out of a secure unit of the hospital and taken up to a balcony walkway from which she fell five stories,” the couple wrote. “I love this family, my heart is broken.
A devastating time for all who care for Mamie. Please help if you can. They need all the support they can get to make it through this,” she wrote.
