AceShowbiz - Hallmark star Mamie Laverock's journey to recovery is nothing short of a miracle. The 19-year-old actress, known for her role as Rosaleen Sullivan in the beloved series "When Calls the Heart," has faced a harrowing ordeal after falling from a five-story building in late May. Although she is enduring tremendous pain, Laverock's resilience and the support from her family and fans are lighting the way forward.
Laverock's troubles began on May 11, when she suffered a mysterious medical emergency. Her mother, Nicole Compton, swiftly transported her to a local hospital, managing to save her life. However, things took a tragic turn when Laverock, who had been placed in a secure hospital unit, was escorted out and subsequently fell five stories from a balcony walkway. The fall left her with life-threatening injuries that led to her being placed on life support.
Her family's updates via GoFundMe tell a story of gritty determination and meticulous medical care. "Her body has been shattered," they shared. "She has undergone two 11-hour surgeries with two doctors, a three-hour surgery, and another surgery today."
Despite the intense ordeal, the family exudes gratitude towards the medical team, affirming that their exemplary care has been pivotal since May 26.
"Doing well" is a relative term for Laverock, who is showing incredible fortitude. "She is enduring tremendous pain and continues to not give up," the family notes. "We can only hold onto the miracles of each day and continue to thank everyone for their prayers and marvel at the miracles of her story."
Laverock's fellow cast members from "When Calls the Heart" have rallied around her, providing both emotional support and financial assistance. Johannah Newmarch, who plays her on-screen mother, and Erin Krakow, the series' leading lady, have actively encouraged fans to contribute to Laverock's GoFundMe page, which has already surpassed its $30,000 goal, raising over $35,000.
Krakow poignantly shared, "Mamie's family has asked me to share their immense gratitude with all of you. Mamie's road to recovery is long from over, but after falling 5 flights she is miraculously on the mend."
Despite the overwhelming challenges, Laverock's story is a testament to human resilience and the power of community support in times of crisis. While there are no further updates as her family focuses on healing, the love and prayers pouring in are a testament to the positive impact she has had on so many lives.
Mamie Laverock's battle is far from over, but her indomitable spirit and the collective support she receives continue to inspire everyone who follows her story.
