French hospital colleagues of the mother of murdered girl Maelys de Araujo have donated part of their leave to her — almost three years' worth.
Jennifer de Araujo, a night nurse at a Pontarlier hospital, stopped working when 9-year-old Maelys went missing at a wedding last August.
Her 1300 fellow workers were given a chance to donate their leave while the search was going on.
This week, Maelys' body was found and the main suspect confessed to murder.
The leave donation was organised by the union at de Araujo's workplace.
