    The “When Calls the Heart” star, who found herself in critical care after falling five stories , shared her first message to the public Thursday on her GoFundMe page .

    “Thank you so much. I don't even know what to say,” Laverock wrote. “My heart is full.”

    The 20-year-old actress did not offer any details on her condition but thanked fans for their support amid her recovery.

    “I have no words to describe my gratitude,” Laverock concluded. “Love you guys. Thank you.”

    Laverock’s parents, Nicole Rockmann and Rob Compton, shared that their daughter’s GoFundMe page has been closed after raising $39,022. “Please know how much you helped this family in our hardest circumstances,” they wrote. “Thank you for caring.”

    USA TODAY has reached out to a representative for Laverock for comment.

    Laverock was placed on life support after sustaining severe injuries in a fall on May 26, according to the actress’s GoFundMe page.

    Laverock "was escorted out of a secure unit of the hospital and taken up to a balcony walkway from which she fell five stories," Rockmann and Compton wrote at the time. "She sustained life-threatening injuries, has undergone multiple extensive surgeries and is currently on life support. We are all devastated, in shock, at this intensely difficult time."

    The actress had been in "intensive treatment for the past two weeks" following a May 11 hospitalization in Winnipeg, Canada, for an undisclosed "medical emergency," per Laverock's GoFundMe. She was subsequently transferred to a hospital in Vancouver.

    A few days following Laverock’s fall, Rockmann told the Los Angeles Times that the fall was not "intended" nor was it a suicide attempt. She added that the actress's family was moving forward with legal action for negligence.

    "This is an absolute miracle, and there will be accountability,” Rockmann told the outlet. “We have a case. All we care about is that Mamie can make a recovery and that she’s alive and that she’s fighting and that she’s strong.”
