Housewives stick together.
Stars from the āReal Housewivesā universe have opened their Birkin bags to donate to Brandi Glanvilleās GoFundMe, which her friend started amid her ongoing battle with facial disfigurement.
As you might predict, itās the āReal Housewives of Beverly Hillsā ladies who are showing out the most for Glanville, with Kyle Richards giving $500, Eileen Davidson offering up $300 and Camille Grammer forking over $200.
Despite Grammer admitting to TMZ that she and Glanville arenāt that close, she said she thought it was the right thing to do.
āI remember when she sent me flowers when I had my hysterectomy for uterine cancer,ā Grammer told the outlet. āI thought that was very sweet of her. I wanted to return the favor, and I feel bad for what sheās going through.ā
Other reality stars offered up monetary support, including āReal Housewives of Orange Countyā OG Vicki Gunvalson, who gave $500, and āReal Housewives of Atlantaā alum Claudia Jordan sent $100.
All that said, the highest donation thus far is an anonymous $1,500 tip.
Amid the outpouring of love ā nearly $13,000 of the $28,000 goal has been donated as of this articleās publication ā Glanville took to her Instagram Stories Saturday to express her thanks.
āIām honestly overwhelmed by all the love and support. š¤ Thank you to every single person who has donated, shared my GoFundMe, checked on me, prayed for me or sent me love,ā she began.
āAsking for help isnāt 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 youāre helping me keep fighting.ā
Glanville concluded her post by writing, āFrom the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. I love you guys. š¤ Brandi.ā
During Fridayās episode of her āBrandi Glanville Unfilteredā podcast, the reality star admitted she felt āembarrassedā by the GoFundMe, which was started by her friend, Gina Rodriguez.
āIām embarrassed, honestly, because I donāt like to ask for help,ā she told her co-host, James Maas, as she became emotional. āI never thought I would do this.ā
Glanville detailed the financial strain of paying $7,000 a week ā even with insurance ā in medical bills, saying creditors call her daily and missing payments could prevent her from getting her medication and halt her recovery.
The reality star recently revealed several diagnoses following years of unexplained issues affecting her face, including a āhighly resistant ESBL Klebsiella and Enterobacter with biofilm, Coccidioidomycosis (valley fever), Demodex dermatitis and mononucleosis.ā
Glanville also noted that she had a āfungal ballā in her face that needed to be removed.
The television personality recently shared footage of an ultrasound on Instagram, saying her doctor āsaw something aliveā and āmovingā in her face during the examination.
āIf I donāt find a doctor to cut this out of my face, Iām just going to do it myself,ā she said in the video.
