A Kelowna girl害羞草研究所檚 family will be able to pay for the medical help she needs, thanks to the community害羞草研究所檚 generosity.

In just three days, over $70,000 poured in to help Ainsley Wood after she fell out of a tree while playing. Family friends jumped in to set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for her medical expenses.
