The woman hailed as Toronto’s “hero nanny” underwent her fourth surgery in the intensive care unit over the weekend.
Jillian Mendoza was pushing two young boys in a double-stroller along St. Clair Avenue West, near Dufferin Street, when an out-of-control SUV struck her.
A GoFundMe page set up by her friends has surpassed its goal of $150,000 as support continues.
