A devastated mum has begged the community for help so her daughter can undergo life-saving surgery.
Molly Hartshorn said her daughter Melanie could die if she doesn't manage to raise almost £64,000 in the next three weeks. The 33-year-old has a genetic condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) which causes her skull to dislocate from her neck and spine.
Melanie spends most of her time confined to her bed as she struggles to sit up. She is being kept alive by a surgical halo vest which she wears 24 hours a day. However the halo is only a short term solution and is currently broken.
