A has raised over $16,000 in under 24 hours for a Kelowna woman suffering severe birth complications.

Currently, Austin has been approved for one dose of the drug that treats aHUS but further treatment approvals are pending on the results of the tests.

The campaign has far surpassed its original goal of $10,000 and donations are still flooding into the campaign.
