The family of little Harmonie-Rose's family have offered their heartfelt thanks to the city of Bath following an overwhelming response to the Hope 4 Harmonie appeal.
Since the fundraising appeal launched a week ago, the family has received roughly £10,000 and message after message offering support.
They say the community response has given them the strength to carry on while Harmonie-Rose is in hospital and has given them hope for the future.
Harmonie-Rose, who is 11 months old, became ill in September and was rushed into Bristol Children's Hospital with a rare form of meningococcal septicaemia.
Just a couple of weeks ago, she was a normal, happy baby, but now surgeons will have to amputate her legs and arms.
Her life is beginning to look very different and she will need two pairs of prosthetics, estimated to cost £40,000, as well as modifications to her home and special equipment.
While parents Freya Hall and Ross Allen care for their daughter in hospital, family members have been fundraising for Harmonie-Rose's future through the Hope 4 Harmonie appeal.
With the help of neighbours, Freya and Ross's siblings are making pink ribbons to raise awareness. The ribbons, tied on front doors across Foxhill, as well as lampposts, car aerials and bonnets, are a reminder that people to Freya and Ross that people are thinking and praying for Harmonie-Rose.
The ribbons are also the logo for the Hope 4 Harmonie appeal, and can be seen on hundreds of people's social media profiles.
Fundraising events are already taking place this week. Auntie Jess Hall works at Wessex Water and on Tuesday, staff raised £1,400 towards the appeal through a raffle.
This week mum Freya Hall thanked the people of Bath for their support and to let them know how much it means to her.
She said: "It's amazing how much support Ross and I have got. It's now reaching national levels and it really overwhelms me.
"Knowing people are praying and hoping all over the world for my princess gives me a bit of warmth in these dark days. I would just like to thank you all for the messages.
"I'm sorry I can't reply to them all, but I just want to give all my strength to my princess to help her get better.
"The money that has and is being donated is amazing. The bows around Foxhill, well it really makes me happy to see that Harmonie will not be seen as different in our community.
"She will be seen as an inspiration and accepted for who she will be. The day we leave this hospital is the start of our new life making sure Harmonie-Rose enjoys every second of it and has a great quality of life, and she definitely will. It's a long way away yet, but it will be so worth it. Keep fighting Harmonie-Rose, you're amazing and you deserve the best."
Last week Harmonie-Rose was on life-support, but now she is able to function on her own and has come off a dialysis machine.
On Tuesday she was awake and was able to say her name.
Auntie Hannah Hall said: "She's awake and she said her name this morning, she says "Harmy".
"For us, the first couple of weeks we didn't know if she would pull through. At the moment she has full open wounds, so the risk of infection is massive, but at the moment we feel safer and if we can do something positive and actually help, I find it quite therapeutic.
"To all those that have selflessly donated gifts, vouchers, kind words, clothes, toys, prizes, food, time, organised events and helped spread H4H, myself, my family and Ross's family, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Without you all none of this would have been possible.
"You have given us the strength to carry on, lifted our spirits and shown us that Harmonie will be loved no matter what.
"It really means the world and I personally think we will never be able to repay you all. We look forward to the day when we can all enjoy watching little Harmonie walk again and see what we achieved together.
"It's totally restored my faith in humanity. We had a cheque for £1,000 and all it says is 'from a pensioner'."
Father Ross, a customer service worker, said his daughter is "a fighter".
He said: "We took her to hospital and we were sent home, and the same again the next day. But then she went all limp and she was blue.
"She was rushed to the children's hospital. It was absolutely horrible. She was really lucky to survive.
"Doctors told us it was the worst case they had seen in three years and they really didn't think she would make the journey to the hospital. She's a little fighter.
"We are not sure what is going to happen next but every day is a winner."
