Huge fundraising campaign for 'poorliest girl in England' in hospital with Strep A
Family, friends and kind-hearted strangers are rallying round a four-year-old girl said to be fighting for her life in hospital after contracting Strep A.
The appeal on fundraising platform GoFundMe was launched by Camila's aunt, Laura Daniels, and has reached almost £8,000. She said Camila's parents, Dean and Kaye, 'will not be leaving her side' and as a result, 'no income is coming into the house'. Laura reported today - Sunday - no change in Camilla's condition. She told the Manchester Evening News : "We are absolutely overwhelmed with the donations so far and this now means Dean and Kaye do not need to think about work and finances while they remain at Camila's side 24/7.
Dean said Camila went from dancing on Friday night last week with her friends to feeling 'a little bit under the weather on Saturday' and needing emergency care on Monday. There was a sickness bug going around Camila’s school and she complained about her chest hurting, he added. Group A strep bacteria can cause many different infections, ranging from minor illnesses to deadly diseases. Illnesses include the skin infection impetigo, scarlet fever and strep throat.
