Marcy Walker, best known to daytime TV viewers for Santa Barbara and All My Children, has launched a fundraiser amid an “ongoing health issue.”
Friends of the actress have started a GoFundMe to support her as she faces some challenges in her life.
“While she has spent years giving her time, energy, and heart to others—both as an actress and later through her dedicated ministry and community work—she is currently navigating an ongoing health issue where financial support is urgently needed,” reads the fundraising page.
Walker played Liza Colby on ABC’s All My Children between 1981 and 1984. She would go on to star in NBC’s Santa Barbara as Eden Capwell before returning to the ABC sudser in 1995. Walker would continue on AMC until 2004 and returned in 2005.
As of this post, Walker’s friends had raised about 90% of the $15,000 goal. The page notes that “every single dollar raised through this page will go directly to Marcy to help cover her essential medical expenses, giving her the peace of mind she deserves.”
Walker’s friends acknowledge that not everyone can contribute monetarily and encourage fans to “leave a note” remembering “a favorite memory of Marcy” as “she reads them and your words of love truly lift her spirits.”
“Thank you for your incredible generosity, your enduring loyalty, and for proving that the bond between Marcy and her fans is just as strong today as it was thirty years ago,” the page reads. “Let’s show Marcy exactly how much she means to us.”
