A fire outside of the Ark Aid Mission on Dundas Street early Wednesday morning is under investigation.

Olivia&nbsp;had been sleeping under a tarp earlier&nbsp;this month when&nbsp;a fire broke out&nbsp;and burned nearly half her body. She and some of her friends had been sleeping on the sidewalk on Dundas Street outside&nbsp;Ark Aid Mission.

"They were trying to create some heat for the evening," her dad said in an&nbsp;interview with CBC News last week.&nbsp;"The temperature had gone down a little bit. They had an open butane flame and they were burning hand sanitizer. At some point during the&nbsp;night it had got tipped over and that ignited the fire."

Sean says this photo of the couple's three children hangs in the entrance hallway of the family home, taken in better times. "It's now hanging in Olivia's hospital room so when she wakes up, she'll know mom and dad are coming soon," said Sean.                        

Olivia and her younger siblings

The family&nbsp;has spoken passionately about the many friends Olivia had in her community in London, and planned to visit the city to meet with some of the people Olivia knew and to thank them for supporting her over the years.

"We are going to ask that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in her name to the Ark Aid Street Mission," the family said.

The family said&nbsp;donations can also be made to London Cares, another service Olivia relied on.&nbsp;
