A couple celebrated a Christmas miracle baby after a group of Facebook mothers secretly raised £2,000 for their IVF treatment.
Twenty-six-year-old Marisha Chaplin and 29-year-old Jon Hibbs, who met while undergoing cancer treatment, had already had a daughter through IVF but could not afford a second round. So a group of social media mothers secretly raised £2,000 for the couple, despite being only virtually acquainted.
The new mother-of-two, from Cotgrave, Nottinghamshire, gave birth to Isla on Saturday via Caesarean section. She immediately broke the news to members of the Facebook group as soon as she could.
