Cassandra Hollingsworth says this year brought a lot of medical expenses her way. Most recently she found out she had nodules on her thyroid and would need to make a biopsy appointment.

"That has to be tested for cancer to make sure that you're okay or if you need surgery," said Cassandra Hollingsworth, a Bryan resident.

The $1,000 bill isn't one she can afford right now.

"I don't have any savings, my credit cards are maxed out on all this stuff, I'm single, I live alone, so I just had to turn to my friends and family for help that's when I created the go fund me account," said Hollingsworth.

With the help of friends and family, Hollingsworth says half of the funds were raised. But, on Wednesday night a very large donation came from a pretty famous name.

"It said Guillermo Del Toro was the donor and I was like that can't be right. It had to be somebody using a famous random name, so I went to bed joking and I called my mom and I was joking with her," said Hollingsworth.

She'd find out the next morning it was the real Guillermo Del Toro. A friend of hers took to twitter asking for him to re tweet the GoFundMe page.

The famed Mexican director is known for popular films such as Pacific Rim and the upcoming The Shape of Water.

"He didn't bother to re tweet the link he just wrote back it's already been payed. That blows me away that he would do that for a complete stranger," said Hollingsworth.
