As for some of the other points in this thread... The intent here is to help someone who is in our industry. I've never met Lea. I likely never will. But her situation touched me personally in the past, and I saw a chance to do a good thing for someone. It has nothjing to do with her ability to work again in the biz.



I accept that. I managed to pick up the word "again" from chickenmaster's post without realising that it subtly changed my meaning.

Now granted it has nothing to do with her ability to work in the biz again, it undeniably DOES have everything to do with the fact that she has worked in the biz in the past.

You emphasise the fact that she is a "complete stranger", but the fact is, had Lea chosen to be a typist instead of a porn star, you would not be holding this collection for her.

Personally I don't see myself in a position to judge who is and isn't worthy of help. That's why I'll give my money to cancer charities, and if I come to reflect on it in 40 years time, I'll remember it went to help lots of people I never knew, not just one girl I had a boner for.
