Brandi Glanville said former co-star Yolanda Hadid connected her with doctors as she seeks treatment for facial disfigurement. Glanville said she used up her savings over three years seeking a diagnosis and now struggles to afford treatment.
Glanville said their conditions differ: Hadid has Lyme disease, while Glanville said she was diagnosed with a fungal infection, a type of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and more after being checked for Lyme. The article gives treatment costs as over $16,000 a month, but quotes Glanville saying the cost is $7,000 a week even with insurance.
Glanville said she risks losing access to medication if she stops paying. Her friend Gina launched a GoFundMe; Kyle Richards, Vicki Gunvalson, Eileen Davidson, Camille Grammer and Claudia Jordan have donated.
