The Voice Acting Community is on alert after the news of a fellow voice actor currently living in a nursing home facility since January. Rachael Lillis has been living at the facility due to being unable to walk due to Cancer. Now, a GoFundMe has been launched to help her pay for her Medical Bills and to hire a home care nurse.
With many fans familiar with Lillis’s work, she has been a pillar of the voice-acting community. She has voiced in several notable series such as Revolutionary Girl Utena, Winx Club, and Pokémon, where she has voiced Misty and Team Rocket’s Jessie. Two of her Pokémon Anime colleagues, Eric Stuart and Veronica Taylor shared their thoughts on the announcement and shared their support for her.
