Eight month old Olivia has the same condition as Dan Donoher.
The mother of a Meath baby who received a €1 million donation from a Laois family says she was heartbroken by their situation.
Aisling and Niall Donoher made the gesture after it became clear that a potential life-saving treatment for their son Dan wouldn't work because of a virus he picked up.
Eight month old Olivia has the same spinal muscular atrophy condition and is looking to travel to the US for treatment.
Her mum Karen Vickers is praising the support she has received by the Donohers:
