Hollywood Superstar Saves Sick Stranger's Life

Gemma was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of ovarian cancer while she was pregnant with her first baby, Penelope. She went through intense chemotherapy for six months, and the cancer left for a while. But Gemma had just started her new job when she started to have awful headaches.

Her job dealt with computers, so she assumed that the headaches were coming from that, but after two weeks, she found out that cancer had come back in the form of brain cancer. She had to have brain surgery and needed treatments that were very expensive. That's when her mother decided to start a fundraiser to try and help offset some of the costs. Doctors even told Gemma to prepare a will because there was no guarantee that she would be able to get the help that she needed.

Thankfully, legendary actress Kate Winslet found her fundraiser page online and she immediately knew that she wanted to help Gemma. Kate raised enough of the funds for Gemma to be able to get the treatment that saved her life. Kate herself lost her mother last year to ovarian cancer, so her heart truly went out to Gemma. What an incredible gift from such a kind woman.
