“We are deeply saddened to report that on May 26th, Mamie, who has been in intensive treatment for the past two weeks, was escorted out of a secure unit of the hospital and taken up to a balcony walkway from which she fell five stories. She sustained life threatening injuries, has undergone multiple extensive surgeries, and is currently on life support,” the update read. “We are all devastated, in shock, at this intensely difficult time.”

In the days since her hospitalization, Laveorck has been surrounded by support, with messages on the GoFundMe campaign reading, “Stay strong and take care, Mamie” and “Sending Mamie and all of you our love and strength.” The actress’ When Calls the Heart co-star Johannah Newmarch, who stars on the show as Molly Sullivan, also shared her support, writing on X (formerly Twitter), “I love this family, my heart is broken. A devastating time for all who care for Mamie. Please help if you can. They need all the support they can get to make it through this.”
