Medical Aid
In 2019, I had a terrible accident while skiing. I was temporarily disabled and unable to walk for an extended period without assistance.
During this time, I was overwhelmed and touched by the support of the acting community.
As a working SAGAFTRA actor since 2007, I was amazed to discover when in crisis how generous and supportive my creative community was in stepping up to help me in my hour of need.
As a part of my recovery, I had to undergo five surgeries over the course of four years and attend multiple physical therapy sessions during this same timeframe.
This difficult journey was made easier thanks to the generous support of the Motion Picture & Television Fund, The Actors Fund (now known as the Entertainment Community Fund), the SAGAFTRA Foundation, and the Episcopal Actors Guild.
I was blessed to qualify for the assistance of these fine organizations, and I will forever be grateful for their kindness and generosity when I needed it the most.
