Wendy Williams' family has launched a GoFundMe to raise $50,000 so they can free the star from the ‘loneliness and deep isolation' of her conservatorship. The fundraiser was created on January 15 by the family of the beloved American television host, 60, as per The U.S. Sun.

It was launched just before Williams — who was diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia in May 2023 — called into The Breakfast Club to plead for her freedom from the controversial guardianship, which she compared to a 'prison.'. Wendy was placed under a court-ordered legal guardianship that oversees both her finances and health in May 2022.

The GoFundMe campaign has so far raised $12,171 of its $50,000 goal. A heartwarming photo on the fundraiser page shows Wendy with her niece Alex Finnie. The description of the GoFundMe reads: 'For far too long, Wendy has faced the challenges of being unjustly placed under guardianship and labeled as incapacitated, despite her strong will and determination to live her life independently.'.

Wendy Williams', 60, family has launched a GoFundMe to raise $50k so they can free the star from the ‘loneliness and deep isolation' of her guardianship; Wendy seen in 2019. It goes on: 'Her current situation is not only unfair but also deeply isolating. The guardian assigned to her has severed her connections with friends and family, leaving her without the support network she so desperately needs.'.
