Tessica Brown – also known as ‘Gorilla Glue Girl’ – is paying ahead, giving most of its acquisition of GoFundMe to a support group for others who are undergoing similar trials or any others that require expensive surgery.
Tessica’s manager told TMZ … after raising more than $ 21,000 in public donations, Tessica has now decided to put most of the money into something called Restore Foundation – which provides reconstructive surgery services to people around the world.

The non-profit organization is actually the brainchild of a Dr. Michael Obeng – the LA-based plastic surgeon who successfully performed the miraculous hair restoration procedure for Tessica itself … pro-bono.
As for why Tessica is doing this … we have been told that she wants other people who need this type of procedure (or others) to have the same type of access as she does, even if they cannot afford it.

Tessica plans to keep $ 1,000 of GFM money to pay for her visit to the emergency room she made in Louisiana before flying to the West Coast … according to your manager. She also incurred travel expenses.
This is not to say that she really needs more – we have been told that Tessica recently made a small fortune selling goods related to her experience, and she is doing very well.
Quite an end to this saga.
