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.
A huge fundraising campaign has been launched to support the family of Camila Rose Burns, from Bolton, as public health bosses investigate the recent deaths of six young children and a worrying rise in cases.
Camila is on a ventilator at Alder Hey Children's Hospital and as reported in the Manchester Evening News her dad, Dean Burns, said hospital staff described her as 'the poorliest girl in the whole of England'. Dean said he has been 'living in an absolute nightmare' since her condition worsened last weekend.
