Arti Solanki's daughter was born without a heartbeat and soon after her mum was on life-support with coronavirus
A Leeds woman's life "went down a tunnel" when her baby daughter and mum were on life-support at the same time.
The little girl, who was named Ra-ang - a name meaning colours - was put into a incubator after birth and put on a ventilator machine. While Arti was praying for her daughter to get better, her mum contracted Covid-19. A few weeks later doctors at Leeds Children's Hospital told Arti that they wanted to take her daughter off the ventilator as she was becoming too weak. "But she couldn't breathe without it", the new mum said.
Speaking about her mum, she added: "We were like sisters. We lived together so we were close, too close sometimes." What's more, Arti wanted to do something in honour of her mum. She and her husband began supporting schools in India- where her mum is from.
