His GoFundMe is being run by a friend.
‘Hello friends and family. My name is Isabel Beyoso, and I am creating this page on behalf of my very dear friend Rondell Sheridan because he has been admitted to the hospital twice in the last month due to an extremely severe case of pancreatitis,’ Isabel wrote.
‘He has not been able to work since April 12, 2025 and will not be able to return to work for the unforeseable future,’ she also shared in her missive.
‘The doctors have said he just has to wait for his pancreas to do what it’s going to do before any further treatment can be considered,’ she noted.
In the meantime, he will be mostly bedridden, while in recovery,’ added Beyoso.
It was added that he needs ‘stress’ taken away from him.
‘If we can all come together to help him financially for his medical and monthly bills while his body heals, I know this will be one giant stress we can collectively take off his shoulders, so that he can focus on resting, recovering, and healing.
‘Every little bit helps and he appreciates you immensely,’ the note ended.
This comes after Raven-Symoné had a breast reduction when she was a teenager.
The 38-year-old actress – who started out as a child on The Cosby Show – revealed that she went under the knife when she was just 15 years old because she had been told that is what she needed to do to find success.

Speaking on her ‘Tea Time’ podcast, she told her wife Miranda Maday: ‘I had my first breast reduction at 15. It was traumatic. I was a triple D all the way down to a B.
‘Someone said I needed to do it in order to get a show.’
But the ‘Cheetah Girls’ star – who appeared in the Broadway musical ‘Sister Act’ for a brief stint following her early stardom and then became a panellist on ‘The View for a number of years before returning to Disney with ‘Raven’s Home’ in 2017 – has now learned to ’embrace’ her body in a way she couldn’t when she was younger.
She said: ‘There’s this beautiful embracing of the body now that I didn’t get as a young girl.’
It was recently alleged that when Raven was in the middle of shooting her supernatural sitcom – which originally ran from 2003 until 2007 – Disney bosses decided to make her appear ‘thinner’ with CGI.

When her weight fluctuated in her later teenage years, co-producer and writer Dava Savel has claimed show bosses ‘handled it in really bad ways’.
In the book ‘Disney High: The Untold Story of the Rise and Fall of Disney Channel’s Tween Empire’, Sevel said: ‘Disney Channel was going crazy about it.
‘And they handled it in really bad ways. But it was never to her face.’
Sources in the book allege that one incident occurred in season two episode ‘That’s So Not Raven’, which saw another model picked for a runway show over Raven because of her slimmer frame.
The episode saw the character Raven try a range of diets before realizing she is perfect jut as she is, and then sending a message of body positivity when she walked the runway at the end.
However, the book’s author Ashley Spencer writes that ‘multiple people involved in the episode’ claimed a Disney Channel executive told the visual effects team to make Raven thinner in the closing scenes.
