Mamie fell five stories on Sunday after she was transported within the hospital out of a secure unit, her family wrote on a page.
The fundraiser page now reports that Mamie's family said she is fighting for her life on life support.
Her family shared that Mamie sustained “life threatening injuries."
The fundraiser has raised over $12,000 from an initial goal of $10,000.
Her family, who lives in Vancouver, is raising money so they can be with her daily during her hospital stay, which could last for a month or more.
Mamie is best known for playing Rosaleen Sullivan on the Hallmark series When Calls the Heart.
On May 11, Mamie's mom, Nicole Compton, traveled to Winnipeg, to help Mamie, who was having a medical emergency.
