This story is complicated and we are at the end of a four year battle to survive in LA. As far as the medical situation goes, we have no lawyer and no intent to sue anyone because there are 42 million others without insurance here. Our story is more about what happens when in a moment of temporary insanity, two life long best friends from the North of England move to a new country for love and marry poor Latino good looking brothers. When Shirley left the UK in 1999, the stock market was booming, the pound was strong and life seemed perfect but unfortunately markets crash and imaginary money disappears into obscurity.
By 2001 the marriages were over, Poverty was brutal and good looks had faded like denim. We found ourselves in the most unbearable situation, as Holly had given birth to two beautiful girls and we had to start again. The only thing we had left from our wealthy lives was an art collection. We opened a small gallery and found a small house, money was real ly tight but with the skills our Mothers had taught us. Ie what you can do with bread milk, butter, eggs, flower and sugar, proved invaluable and once the Ego was battered to death, we settled into some self examination. Being over 35 in Hollywood is not ideal, we tried everything to find jobs, remember in London we were the business, in LA it turned out we were immigrants and two old for anything. It was brutal to be turned down for an $8 an hour temp job in Macys on the Chanel counter and it was not long before we realized, we had to pull something big off or we were history.
With a new positive focus on our art business, we came across a Genius, a Russian fresco master hungrier than us and in need of saving. To cut a long story short, we decided to go to Hollywood celebrity and use our British charm to get someone rich to help us save the artist and save ourselves in the process. Harvey Weinstein was chosen and for three years we had a love affair with a man we could not get to, no matter how hard we tried, even celebrity stalking in Cannes, failed.
By default we had an internship into Hollywood and even got a William Morris agent, it was such an unbelievable story we had to write down. Now we were writers and somehow wrote a book. Since then we have self published the book and have built an internet business. If you take a look on Google or Amazon or even Barnes and Nobel, you will find Looking for Harvey Weinstein everywhere.
Now to the tragedy, after spending the last two years surviving on nothing, literally starving, we were finally in a position to Ignite our incredible back from the dead business, save the artist, impress Harvey at last and start living our purpose driven life. Eight weeks ago, almost penniless because we had put everything into the book , Shirley finally gave in. She had been poorly for a while but with no money for medical insurance, a doctor was a luxury we could not afford. She was rushed to the emergency room and was give two Blood transfusions. The doctor said she was lucky to be alive. The next day she was discharged with expensive tablets, no diagnosis, except she was told she needed urgent surgery and the tablets would temporarily stop the bleeding, in effect a plaster.
Then the Bombshell, the bill, $9000 medical expenses we could just not afford. We have been selling all our stuff to try and keep our home, run the business, take care of the children, feed and keep Shirley strong but the tablets are running out and we are sinking fast. Always hopeful forever positive, as our circumstances reach disastrous levels, our faith becomes exponentially stronger.
Shirley is 47 and Holly 39, so you know which is which. We both came from working class backgrounds, poor big families on council estat es in the North. Shirley, Leicester and Holly, Leeds. This is a Rags to riches, Riches to rags story, as we both came from nothing and built a successful financial headhunting company in the City of London before coming to America and losing everything. Holly came first in search of love, married Michael and Shirley was visiting maid of honor and met Marty, the brother and best man. They were married in Las Vegas in a drive through chapel and we all should have lived happily ever after.
