"As a self-employed artist, Ginny doesn't receive sick pay and will not be able to earn anything over this time (if you don't do the gig, you don't get paid). This is already a challenging time to be an artist - gigs are less frequent and funding is scarce. Ginny is a working-class disabled queer artist with no financial support to fall back on - and the worry about how to cover their mortgage & bills during this time is real."
"Meningitis is an infection of "the protective membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord" and can be "very serious" if not treated in sufficient time, according to the NHS. If untreated, meningitis can cause "life-threatening sepsis" and result in "permanent damage to the brain or nerves"."
"Ginny is currently very unwell in hospital with meningitis, and will likely need to stay in hospital for two weeks with additional time needed to recover afterwards,"
Ginny Lemon, a RuPaul's Drag Race UK season two star, is very unwell in hospital with meningitis and is expected to remain hospitalized for around two weeks with further recovery time needed. Fellow UK drag performer Fatt Butcher launched a JustGiving fundraiser to "fill the gap" in Ginny's income, aiming to raise £1,000 to help cover mortgage and bills while Ginny cannot work. The fundraiser has already raised £2,350. NHS guidance warns meningitis can be very serious, risking life-threatening sepsis or permanent brain or nerve damage if untreated. Ginny shared playful hospital selfies and joked about celebrating an album milestone.
