Support for Anita Smith & Family
Donation protected
On Jan. 2nd, 2024, Anita Smith was rushed to Headwaters Health as her life altering liver condition was rapidly deteriorating. She received the best care at the time and doctors decided to transfer her to Brampton Civic Hospital where she would be closer to her family.
On Jan. 3rd, 2024, doctors induced a coma to help save her life. Anita's organs were shutting down and the medical team believed the only way to help her survive was to induce a coma to give her body a break from the trauma it was enduring. She remains in critical condition in ICU today and will require a liver transplant as she works her way through this fight.
Her family remains at her bedside; her husband Jeff, her son Chris, and daughter Melissa are hoping she will wake up soon.
Anita is originally from Cape Breton, NS; however, she has been living in the Toronto area for most of her adult life where she raised her family. We are hoping that this Go Fund Me campaign can help alleviate the additional stress Anita's family has endured due to her inability to continue working at Holt Renfew after being diagnosed with her liver disease. These costs include lodging, meals, etc, so her family may devote all of their love and time to their mom on her long road to recovery.
To know Anita is to love her. She is the glue who holds our family together. She is always available to her family no matter the time of day. She is the most loving wife, mother and grandmother on this Earth.
Our family is forever grateful for all the love and prayers we have received during this incredibly difficult time. We understand these are exceptionally challenging times for many and if you cannot donate monetarily, please keep Anita in your thoughts & prayers. For those of you who can help in any way possible, no amount is too small and we are forever grateful for your generosity and support.
Thank you everyone for your kindness.
