‘All differences aside’: Real Housewives ditch the drama to raise money for coronavirus

Ana Quincoces is getting the band back together, ish.

The onetime “Real Housewives of Miami” star recently launched a charity to help raise money for people on the front lines of the coronavirus battle.

The Skinny Latina founder posted news of a charity fundraiser on her Instagram, calling all the women from every “Real Housewives” franchise to donate one of their fancy reunion dresses.

“These funds would benefit healthcare workers, first responders and their families,” wrote Quincoces. “Let’s make this happen. I know the ladies of #RHOM and other cities are generous and philanthropic. All differences aside... we are all in this together.”

So far, the contributors include Denise Richards, of Beverly Hills; Monique Samuels of Potomac; and Marysol Patton, of Miami. Both Bravo and Andy Cohen are on board.

“I got the idea while organizing my closet,” Quincoces told the Miami Herald. “I came across a reunion dress and realized the other ladies may have one laying around too.”

Hers is a Ella Bella Rozio Custom Couture green number that is worth $2,800.

You can also bid on other things beside dresses. Patton donated rosary beads worn by her mother, unforgettable breakout “RHOM” star Mama Elsa who died last year after a long illness.

The auction should go live shortly once all the things are delivered to Miami.
