Fashion Rallies Behind Pat Cleveland After Emergency Surgery
When the legendary and inimitable model Pat Cleveland had to go into emergency surgery in France after stomach pains escalated into the discovery of colon cancer, operating outside of Pat’s Medicare coverage caused medical costs to mount––her family turned to friends. Through a GoFundMe campaign started by Pat’s husband Paul Van Ravenstein, the Cleveland family, which also includes model-daughter, Anna, have able to raise 120k of the 150k goal in just 4 days. Speaking to the New York Times, Paul said, “We’re normal people, and it’s not like we have huge funds,” continuing, “I was talking to friends, and they said we should do a GoFundMe, that it’s absolutely normal these days.” He remarked that she is doing well, saying Pat is, “already she’s thinking about using this as a platform to talk publicly about the uninsured girls in the business that don’t have the backup that she has.” If you would like to support, you can donate directly through GofundMe.
