As BroadwayWorld previously reported, friends of actress Terri White have set up a GoFundMe page to help offset medical costs for a rare blood disease that she is fighting.

At first, Terri was without insurance, but in January she was able to enroll in Health Insurance. It helps, but there are many expenses that still need to be addressed.

Terri is a patient at the Moffitt Institute in Tampa. It is the 6th rated comprehensive cancer institute in the U.S., where she is undergoing chemotherapy and various thyroid testing. Her GoFundMe page just updated:
