Film industry rallies behind veteran publicist Mickey Cottrell after stroke
The film community has started a Go Fund Me campaign to raise cash to help veteran independent film publicist Mickey Cottrell recover from a debilitating stroke.
The announcement:
Our beloved friend and renowned independent film publicist Mickey Cottrell has suffered a debilitating stroke and needs urgent help from his community of loved ones. He will require 24 hour care for the foreseeable future, and extensive physical therapy for a long time to come. He will not be able to garner any income during this time, and so we beseech you to help him through this difficult time.Actor, publicist, producer, champion, friend, and activist… Mickey is an invaluable member of our community and a unique soul. All of you who know him know that.
We have set up a GoFundMe campaign at the following link and ask that you consider a donation to help Mickey recover.
Donations will be used to cover immediate and future medical care. All contributions are deeply appreciated and a speedy response would be very helpful: knowing how much money is available will help us plan and prioritize his care.
If you know Mickey, I hope you will consider a donation, as well as sending this link to anyone you know who knows Mickey and sharing the Go Fund Me info on social media.
This campaign is set for 30 days. However the sooner the better.
