"Without the Actors' Fund we would all experience a lot more fear..."

"I was hit by a car while riding my bike. I broke my arm which made it impossible for me to work. Unable to pay my rent or buy food, I turned to the Actors' Fund. They helped me to take care of my living expenses while I healed from this injury.
Actors and many other people in this industry are freelancers, going from contract to contract, without access to workers compensation or EI, often not knowing where our next paycheque is coming from.
Without the Actors' Fund we would all experience a lot more fear, poverty, stress and humiliation. Knowing that the Actors' Fund was there for me gives me the confidence I need to go forward with my career."
