Tributes have been paid to a young mum who collapsed and died suddenly while walking her daughter to school.
Tributes have been paid to a UK mum who collapsed and died suddenly while on the school run.
Donna Taylor, 38, was walking her daughter to school last Monday when her head began hurting, The Sun reports.
Emergency crews battled to save the mum in Sowerby Bridge, West Yorks, for an hour before she was taken to hospital.
Sadly Ms Taylor was declared clinically brain dead and her life support machine was switched off the next day.
Her four children — aged one, five, 12 and 14 — are now being looked after by their dad.
In a double tragedy, her son Josh passed away when he was just three years old.
“She was literally just walking her daughter to school and said she got a pain in her head and she [ended] up collapsing, an ambulance was rung and they were working on her for about an hour at the side of the road,” her devastated cousin Kealy Smith said.
“It was very unexpected, she was just taking her daughter to school. She was talking to my uncle the night before. I think everyone was just in shock. How can you go from taking your daughter to school to being gone?”
Ms Taylor’s heartbroken family have now launched a GoFundMe page to raise money for her funeral.
They said due to the mum’s young age, she had no plans in place if tragedy struck.
Paying tribute, Kealy added, “Never saw her without her kids, her kids were her whole life, she never did anything for herself. As long as the kids were happy and looked after she was happy.”
