The Sault family say they will do 'whatever it takes' to ensure that their daughter Makayla is not apprehended by the Children's Aid Society. (Sault family)

Makayla was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in January. Her doctors told her family that she would have a 75 per cent chance of survival if she continued treatment. If not, they warned that her situation could become dire.
