(Hollywood, CA) Earlier today, exotic, petite Japanese adult star and Penthouse Pet Marica Hase announced via Japanese newspaper Mainichi that she has breast cancer and is starting a GoFundMe to help pay for her surgery, time off work, and other expenses. Within hours, she already had almost $3k of her $50k goal.

In a few weeks, Marica will be having bi-lateral mastectomy and reconstruction of both her breasts at the same time. It will be performed at the City of Hope Facility/Providence Hospital. Since Marica wants to stay in the industry, this is the best option.

Marica is looking to raise $50k, which will cover what insurance won’t pay along with related expenses, post-op, treatment, and medicines. Since Marica will be out of work for four months, it will also cover her living expenses. If any money raised is left over, it will be donated to the City of Hope.

The GoFundMe campaign “Breast Cancer Sucks” can be found at https://www.gofundme.com/f/ny6gu5-breast-cancer-sucks. Keep up with Marica’s doctor visits and other updates on her health by subscribing to her YouTube channel at http://ur2.link/Ingg.

“I’m so grateful to the City of Hope for saving my life,” says Marica Hase. “I was going to do this on my own, but my friends in the industry are like family and suggested that I start a fundraiser. I appreciate anyone who can donate, no matter how small. It means a lot to me.”
