Savannah's mother, Brandy, has stayed by her daughter's bedside, but that has caused financial hardship for the family. Any businesses interested in assisting the fundraiser can call 905-842-9009.

The natural wonders of Botswana, South Africa and Zambia will be complemented by special Tauck "insider" experiences that reveal the countries' history and culture.
