The award-winning actress, 84, is allegedly in hospice after a year-long battle with dementia and ‘life-threatening infections.’ According to TMZ, her friend and former student Cody Galloway is by her side, with her representative Michael Greene on the way from the East Coast.
Her friends organised a GoFundMe page to support her urgent care expenses. The fundraiser reads: “As a result today, she finds herself facing a significant health crisis—one that has not only affected her well-being but also requires urgent and quality medical care that she can no longer afford.”
It adds: “This past year Sally fractured her four bones in her neck, right wrist, and her left hip. While recovering she developed two separate life-threatening infections. The combination of these injuries and infections have required extensive hospitalizations and rehab beyond the 100 days insurance will cover.”
It continues: “We are humbly asking for your support, in any amount you can offer, to ensure she gets the treatment she needs at this crucial time in her health journey. Every donation, no matter the size, will help bring her one step closer to recovery and, we hope, back to doing what she loves most—acting.”
In the latest update on the page from November 7 a message read: “Thank you for all your love and support. Sally is grateful for your kindness and love. Sally is on hospice now and is resting comfortably. Please hold and send the light for Sally.”
The page has so far raised over $56,000 of the $65,000 target.
