An American couple with the help of a church in California is on a mission to bring their late daughter back to life, after she passed away tragically. Two-year-old Olive died in her sleep last week, but her parents are convinced they can reverse the tragedy. They have appealed to their church community to help revive their daughter through the power of collective faith.

The Bethel Church in Redding has gone a step further by starting a GoFundMe campaign to raise $100,000 (R70 lakh) to help the bereaved parents cover "unforseeable expenses". On the same page, Olive's mum Kalley Heiligenthal has written, "We believe in a Jesus who died and conclusively defeated every grave, holding the keys to resurrection power. We need it for our little Olive Alayne, who stopped breathing yesterday and has been pronounced dead by doctors."
