Brandi Glanville says she is overwhelmed by the love and support pouring in after a friend launched a GoFundMe to help with her medical bills. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has been fighting a health condition for two years that has caused facial disfigurement, and she has spent more than $113,000 on treatments with mixed results. The fundraiser has already brought in over $15,000, with donations from Kyle Richards, Vicki Gunvalson, and Claudia Jordan.
On her“Unfiltered”podcast, Brandi got honest about how hard it was to accept the help. She admitted she felt embarrassed and like a loser for needing it, and that she had hit rock bottom. In a message to fans, she said asking for help isn’t easy for her, but knowing she has so many people in her corner means more than she can ever explain.
Her story touches on something a lot of families know too well: medical debt does not care who you are or what you have accomplished. Brandi’s willingness to speak openly about her health journey and her humility in accepting support has resonated far beyond reality TV fans.
