Housewives unite.
Stars from the “Real Housewives” franchise have rallied around Brandi Glanville by contributing to her GoFundMe, which was set up by a friend in light of her ongoing struggle with facial disfigurement.
As expected, the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” cast has been particularly generous, with notable donations like $500 from Kyle Richards, $300 from Eileen Davidson, and $200 from Camille Grammer.
Interestingly, Grammer mentioned to TMZ that she and Glanville aren’t really close, but she felt compelled to help anyway. It’s funny how a small gesture can feel so right in tough times, right?
“I remember when she sent me flowers after my hysterectomy for uterine cancer,” Grammer shared. “That was really kind of her. I wanted to show my support, and I just feel for what she’s going through.”
Other reality television personalities have chipped in as well, such as Vicki Gunvalson from “Real Housewives of Orange County” who also donated $500, and Claudia Jordan from “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” contributing $100.
As of now, the highest single donation is an anonymous contribution of $1,500.
So far, almost $13,000 have been raised of the $28,000 target, and amidst all this support, Glanville expressed her heartfelt gratitude on her Instagram Stories over the weekend.
“I’m honestly overwhelmed by all the love and support. 🤍 Thank you to every single person who has donated, shared my GoFundMe, checked on me, prayed for me, or sent me love,” she shared.
“Asking for help isn’t easy for me, but knowing I have so many people in my corner means more than I can ever explain. I still have a long road ahead, but you’re helping me keep fighting.”
She wrapped up her message with, “From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. I love you guys. 🤍 Brandi.”
During a recent episode of her podcast, “Brandi Glanville Unfiltered,” she opened up about feeling “embarrassed” about needing to ask for help through the GoFundMe set up by her friend Gina Rodriguez.
“I’m embarrassed, honestly, because I don’t like to ask for help,” Glanville confessed to her co-host, James Maas, visibly emotional. “I never imagined I would find myself in this position.”
Glanville went on to discuss the staggering medical bills costing her $7,000 a week, even with insurance. She mentioned that creditors frequently call her, and missing payments could jeopardize her access to necessary medication and hinder her recovery.
In a recent update, she revealed multiple diagnoses after years of mysterious issues affecting her face, leading to conditions like a “fungal ball” that required surgical removal.
Glanville also shared a video of a recent ultrasound where her doctor noted seeing something alive and moving in her face. “If I don’t find a doctor to cut this out of my face, I’m just going to do it myself,” she commented in that video, showing the frustration of her situation.
