Olivia Barash Says Stroke Left Her Bedridden With Eviction Two Weeks Away

A friend’s fundraiser has drawn nearly $7,700 to help the 60-year-old cover rent during her recovery.

Overview

  • Barash tells TMZ she suffered a stroke about three weeks ago, is bedridden at her Los Angeles home, and says she has not received proper post-stroke care.
  • She says she faces removal in roughly two weeks following a rent increase and building changes, with no clear plan for where to go.
  • Barash says her disability application was denied, and a friend’s GoFundMe page states her SNAP benefits are unavailable.
  • The fundraiser organized by friend Nanea Reeves had reached nearly $7,700 by late Monday, according to the campaign.
  • The Repo Man and Little House on the Prairie alum had been directing a documentary before the stroke halted the project, and she says she has little local support while caring for her dog.
