Thousands raised for young Tipperary woman left with life-altering condition

Thousands has been raised on GoFundMe for a young Tipperary woman who has been left with a life-altering condition after suffering a shock spinal bleed.

Aimee, a young woman from Farranasa, Co. Tipperary, was left paralysed from the chest down after suffering a spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma — a rare and life-altering condition that caused severe spinal cord damage between the C5 and C7 vertebrae.

Emergency surgery came too late to prevent permanent injury, and she now lives with quadriplegia.
