HALLMARK star Mamie Laverock is on life support after falling from a fifth-story balcony just two weeks after she was hospitalized with a medical emergency.

The 19-year-old actress was initially hospitalized in Winnipeg on May 11 for an undisclosed condition and was later transported to a hospital in Vancouver.

Mamie fell five stories on Sunday after she was transported within the hospital out of a secure unit, her family wrote on a Go Fund Me page.

The fundraiser page now reports that Mamie's family said she is fighting for her life on life support.

Her family shared that Mamie sustained “life threatening injuries."

The fundraiser has raised over $12,000 from an initial goal of $10,000.

Her family, who lives in Vancouver, is raising money so they can be with her daily during her hospital stay, which could last for a month or more.

Mamie is best known for playing Rosaleen Sullivan on the Hallmark series When Calls the Heart.

On May 11, Mamie's mom, Nicole Compton, traveled to Winnipeg, to help Mamie, who was having a medical emergency.

Nicole was able to get to her daughter in time to save her life and got her admitted to a local hospital before transferring her to one in Vancouver.

"Her recovery is unclear at this time but she is alive and is showing signs of improvement," Nicole and her step-father, Rob, wrote on her GoFundMe page.

'DEEPLY SADDENED'

After her medical emergency, Mamie seemed to be ok.

She posted about the Go Fund Me page on her Facebook on May 18.

A few hours later, the actress even shared throwback photos of her swimming with her sisters in Hawaii on April 28.

“Such a nice time together," she captioned the post.

However, one week after those posts, Mamie's family updated the Go Fund Me.

We are all devastated, in shock, at this intensely difficult time

"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," they wrote.

"She sustained life threatening injuries, has undergone multiple extensive surgeries, and is currently on life support. We are all devastated, in shock, at this intensely difficult time."

SUPPORT FROM CO-STARS

Following the tragedy, Mamie's When Calls the Heart co-stars Erin Krakow and Johannah Newmarch showed their support.

Erin posted a screenshot of the Go Fund Me to her Instagram and encouraged her followers to donate.

"I just donated. If you have the means to do so, I hope you will too. Link in bio," she wrote.

Johannah, who plays Mamie's on-screen mother, Molly Sullivan, posted her support on X, formerly Twitter.

"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 while sharing the link.

Another co-star, Loretta Walsh, showed her support on Instagram.

"Please donate and share if you can. Mamie and her family need our support. Link in bio. Thank you," she said.

When Calls the Heart is inspired by Janette Oke's novel on the Canadian West.

The series follows the story of a schoolteacher and single mother, Elizabeth Thornton, who gets a job in the quaint town of Hope Valley.
