Thousands of people around the world have responded to a Hendon family's plea to pray for their 20-year-old daughter, who is on life support.

At the time of writing, Liora Rosenberg, a former Hasmonean and JFS pupil, was in critical condition in hospital after suffering "a bleed to the brain" and pneumonia.

She was taken ill and admitted to hospital before Pesach.

More than 12,000 people joined the Facebook group, "Do a mitzvah in the name of Liora Rosenberg", which was set up on April 21 on behalf of the family to urge the community to "pull together, storm the heavens and do anything we can" to save the teaching assistant through prayers, good deeds and charity.
