Meet Laura
Laura Fudge is a 38 yr old mother of four, the youngest being 2. She is a beloved member of Toronto’s film community, and a woman whose warmth, work ethic, and humour have touched so many. Whether she’s feeding a film crew at 4 a.m. or running her kids to school after a long day, Laura has always put others first.
She turns 39 this September and we want to make sure she reaches that milestone feeling supported and surrounded by love.
Her MS Battle
Several years ago, Laura was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) a chronic, unpredictable disease of the central nervous system. Despite living with fatigue, nerve pain, and mobility challenges, she’s kept working, parenting, and showing up with quiet courage.
But a recent MS flare-up last week has pushed her body past its limits. This time, rest is not optional it’s critical.
Why She Needs Our Help
MS doesn’t just affect the body, it affects livelihoods. Right now, Laura critically needs extended time off work to recover, heal, and focus on treatment. But time off means lost income, and with four children to support, that’s a terrifying reality. Let’s help eliminate that stress completely for her.
We are raising funds so Laura can step back and truly rest without risking the roof over her family’s head or worrying about how she’ll pay for groceries or medications.
Your donation will help cover:
• Mortgage payments
• Utilities and groceries
• Transportation and medical costs
• Daily essentials for Laura and her children
Laura’s Heart is in Everything She Does
If you’ve ever worked on a set with Laura, you know: she sees people. She remembers your coffee order. She makes sure the background performers are fed just as well as the director. She’s the first to offer help and the last to complain.
Now it’s our turn to be that person for her.
Let’s Show Up for Laura
Every dollar, every share, every kind message is a step toward giving Laura what she’s given all of us: care, compassion, and support.
Please donate what you can. No gift is too small. If you can’t give, please share this with your networks. Together, we can lighten the load for someone who has carried so much for so many.
We love Laura. She deserves this time, and so much more.
With gratitude,
Laura wanted everyone to know how grateful she is here is a little message from Laura!
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you truly, from the bottom of my heart. I’m still kind of in shock at how generous and supportive everyone has and is being. I didn’t expect it, and I definitely didn’t expect it to reach as many people as it has.
Dealing with this MS flare has been rough, physically and emotionally. But knowing that so many people care, and have taken the time to help me and my family, has made a huge difference. It’s hard to put into words how much it means.
Thank you everyone for showing up for me. Thank you for your kindness.
❤️ Laura
