“Today, Mickey is facing a very real and urgent situation: the threat of eviction from his home. This fundraiser is being created with Mickey\u2019s full permission to help cover immediate housing-related expenses and prevent that from happening,” Jones wrote in the description for the fundraiser.<\/p>\n
As of Jan. 5, Rourke’s GoFundMe has raised more than $68,000 through some 1,700 donations.<\/p>\n
“Mickey Rourke is an icon\u2014but his trajectory, as painful as it is, is also a deeply human one. It is the story of someone who gave everything to his work, took real risks, and paid real costs,” she added. “Fame does not protect against hardship, and talent does not guarantee stability. What remains is a person who deserves dignity, housing, and the chance to regain his footing. The goal is simple: to give Mickey stability and peace of mind during an extremely stressful time\u2014so he can stay in his home and have the space to get back on his feet. Any donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference.”<\/p>\n
