An influencer has been left fighting for her life after suffering a brain aneurysm.

Jackie Miller James has thousands of followers on her social media channels, where she shares beauty and lifestyle updates.

But just a week before she was due to give birth, the 35-year-old suddenly collapsed and had to be rushed to hospital.

After arriving, Jackie was taken immediately to the operating room where she underwent an emergency caesarean, giving birth to a little girl.

And while her daughter was able to go home after spending two weeks in the NICU, Jackie remains in intensive care, having undergone five procedures on her brain.

She is expected to remain in hospital for a number of weeks while she recovers.

And her sisters, Natalie and Nicelle, have now set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for her care.

"If Jackie and the baby arrived a few minutes later at the hospital, we likely would have lost both of them," the pair wrote on the page.

"But instead, Jackie is continuing to fight for her life each day and we are optimistic she can beat the odds by surrounding her with the right specialists and methods of therapy.

"While the road will be long, we are committed to bringing Jackie home to her daughter and husband.

"This GoFundMe campaign was started to provide a way for family and friends to help Jackie secure the highest level of care.

"In addition to what insurance can cover, the family has been advised to expect significant outside costs related to speech therapy, physical therapy, home modifications, and alternative therapies once we realize the severity of her deficits.

A GoFundMe page has been set up 'to help Jackie secure the highest level of care'.

"These funds will help Jackie’s long-term recovery and quality of life as a new mother. Any funds that remain unused will be donated to similar families in need or related charities.

"We appreciate you sharing this story with friends, families, and communities willing to help this new mother come home to her baby girl."

So far over $100,000 has been raised for the couple, with donors leaving heartfelt messages of support.

"No one should have to go thru this alone and with the financial burden," wrote one. "Sending all my love, strength, thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery."

Another commented: "Praying for you to get home to your baby and husband!"

"Prayers for her and the little one," put a third.

While someone else added: "Sending so much love to you and your incredible family. God made you a warrior, keep fighting and know we are cheering you on every step of the way."
