Actress Delta Burke, best known for her role as Suzanne Sugarbaker on the television sitcom Designing Women, has made a $1,500 donation to the Sandwich Women’s Club – a non-profit organization dedicated to charitable, civic, and educational purposes – as a result of a canceled order due to the celebrity’s obsessive compulsive disorder.

The 51-year-old actress suffers from Compulsive Hoarding Syndrome, a mental disorder that causes her to buy and collect things in an obsessive way. The disorder caused her to become addicted to purchasing large quantities of items from the QVC shopping network and eBay, and then hoard the merchandise. In January she made a large order of expensive dolls from a website belonging to Nancy Watts.

“The customer ordered a large number of very expensive items totaling $1,500,” said Watts. “My average order is usually about $35 to $40, so this was very notable. I tried contacting her several times by e-mail to correct the payment, but I didn’t get any response.”
