Actress Emilia Clarke, known world over for portraying the character, Daenerys Targaryen, in the smash hit global blockbuster fantasy drama TV show, Games of Thrones, based on author George R. R. Martin's books, has now taken to her Instagram page requesting people to donate money to her charity organization, SameYou, which helps those recovering from brain injuries and strokes.

This new initiative by Emilia Clarke for SameYou is in the hopes of making new beds for the National Health Service (NHS) for the coronavirus patients. Clarke, who founded SameYou after revealing that she had suffered from two brain aneurysms during her early days in Game of Thrones, appeared on video and stated, "We are creating a virtual rehabilitation clinic so brain injury survivors have somewhere to go and somewhere to feel safe and somewhere to not feel so alone and isolated, which I think is a good thing. We need to do all we can to release as many beds as possible to free up our hardworking NHS,".

Furthermore, twelve donors will be chosen randomly, who will then get an opportunity to sit down for a virtual dinner with the Game of Thrones star. Emilia Clarke hopes to raise as much as £250,000 for SameYou with the new initiative announced to be a partnership with the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Massachusetts and the University College London Hospital. Emilia added, "We’ll cook together and eat together. And, we will discuss lots of things - isolation, fear and also funny videos. And, you know, the fact that I can’t really cook. So, it’s going to be fun,".

Dearest ones, from my isolation booth I write to you with a plea for help! Due to the current frightening and ever changing coronavirus emergency please would you help me raise £250,000, by donating through the link in my Bio, to provide stroke and brain injury patients with essential support!! This fund will also help in freeing up the hospital beds needed to deal with the pandemic, to care for those who also need a space to heal. 100% of your generosity will fund virtual rehab clinic support in the coming weeks... a very big task and a very big ask but you are all very big hearted souls so I know you’ll want to help me help them! ❤️🏆❤️ @sameyouorg #togethertogethertogether
