Help Ginamarie Find Her Light Again

Donation protected
Ginamarie is a 23 year old who was born and raised in Staten Island New York. Since she was little, she dreamed of working professionally as a performer, and finally finding her spotlight in this world. Ginamarie auditioned and got accepted into The American Musical And Dramatic academy back in 2015. The second she stepped foot into the conservatory, we all knew she was going to be a star. She is real, intuitive, kind, and has more talent in her pinky nail than anyone I've ever met. While Gina was advancing as a natural triple threat, she was secretly battling what she didn't know would be the toughest fight for her life. Gina has been suffering from an advanced case of Eczema for as long as I've known her. She went to so many doctors who could only poke and prod at her, and in return gave her unhelpful steroids and sent her on her way feeling hopeless that this was never going to end. Simple tasks like taking a shower, brushing her teeth, eating, and sleeping, became absolutely excruciating for her and debilitated her to the point of wanting to give up completely. Gina has been unable to work for almost two years as it is too painful to leave her home. And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, within this past week, Gina fell very ill suffering from a 10 day long fever and infection that has covered her entire face, arms, and hands, in large excruciating lesions and fever blisters. Gina has been in the hospital ever since as she is becoming septic.  This beautiful young talented girl who was fighting for the spot light, is now fighting for her life. The last thing that should be on Gina's mind, is how she's going to afford all of these medical bills. Her main focus should be to rest and heal from this traumatic experience, and get out of the hospital. That is where I come in. Gina gave me her blessing to share her story, and I ask if you are able to donate, please do. Every dollar matters. If you are unable to donate, I ask you to simply share her story so others can be inspired by her strength and courage. Help Ginamarie have the opportunity to someday be able to find her light again.
