Support is pouring in for two Lethbridge parents fighting to keep their baby on life support.
Anna Motsyk and Will Mammo received a one month reprieve December 7, in their case against Alberta Health Services and the Alberta Childrens’ Hospital.
Baby Hermella contracted a rare virus after surgery to remove a cancerous tumour.
While doctors say Hermella is brain dead and won’t ever recover, her parents say she is showing signs of improvement and just needs more time.
Seeing the couple has depleted their savings, the Open Arms Patient Advocacy Society has now decided to open a fund in Hermella’s name on its website.
Two lawyers have also agreed to represent them pro bono.
