Brandi Glanville’s GoFundMe is helping cover treatment costs
Brandi Glanville is seeking financial help through a GoFundMe campaign started by her friend, Gina Rodriguez, amid an ongoing health battle involving facial symptoms and costly treatment. The latest available report says Glanville remains in treatment and the fundraiser had passed US$16,000 toward a US$28,000 goal.

The former The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member discussed the fundraiser during her Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast, where she became emotional and said she felt embarrassed about needing help. She said she did not like asking for assistance and had not expected to launch a fundraiser, but Rodriguez believed she had no other choice. Page Six
Glanville said her treatment costs about US$7,000 a week even with medical insurance. She also said she had paid half of the costs but still owed money, and that stopping payments could affect her access to medication and prevent progress in her treatment. NZ Herald
The fundraiser has received support from several reality television personalities. Kyle Richards donated US$500, Eileen Davidson gave US$300 and Camille Grammer contributed US$200. Vicki Gunvalson donated US$500, while Claudia Jordan gave US$100. An anonymous US$1,500 donation was reported as the largest contribution.
Reports gave different totals because they were published at different times. Page Six said nearly US$13,000 had been raised, while the later report from nine.com.au said the total had exceeded US$16,000. The stated target was US$28,000.
Glanville later thanked donors and people who had shared the campaign or contacted her with support. She said she still had “a long road ahead”, while expressing gratitude for the people helping her continue treatment. nine.com.au
What Glanville has said about her health
Glanville has described years of unexplained problems affecting her face, including swelling, lumps, a rash and difficulty opening her mouth. She said in a recent Instagram video that an ultrasound and MRI had provided answers about her condition, and described a hard mass or “fungal ball” in her face.
She has publicly listed diagnoses of highly resistant ESBL Klebsiella and Enterobacter with biofilm, coccidioidomycosis—also known as Valley fever—Demodex dermatitis and mononucleosis. These are diagnoses Glanville has reported herself; the supplied coverage does not independently establish the full medical picture or confirm how each condition relates to her facial symptoms.
The Daily Beast’s Looker reported that Glanville had been documenting lengthy infusions, including an antibiotic treatment, and said she was taking infusions for as many as 18 hours a day. It also reported that she had previously mentioned a suspected “jumping parasite” in December 2024 and a benign tumour in a facial lymph node in June 2026. The Looker
The unresolved questions around her treatment
Glanville said she had consulted 21 doctors before receiving what she described as the correct diagnoses. She has also said that she cannot work because of her health problems and that the medical costs have left her financially overwhelmed.
Her social media comments describe ongoing symptoms and treatment, but available reporting does not establish a final cause for all of those symptoms, how long the treatment will continue or whether the fundraiser will reach its goal. The latest reported position is that the campaign remains active, with more than US$16,000 raised toward its US$28,000 target.
