A Peterborough baby named Michael John was born November 30th at 24 weeks, weighing 1 pound 8 ounces. At three months premature, he was given a 20 percent chance of surviving. Through great medical attention and the Grace of God, young Michael is alive and fighting at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.
Michael's parents Amanda Johnson and Edy Jones are living in Toronto (away from work) to be at Michael's bedside—and he is expected to be in hospital there for months until it is deemed safe for him to return home to Peterborough.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the couple with their expenses during this time. Give what you can here. Every dollar counts in large amounts.
