After actor James Van Der Beek's death at the age of 48 from a battle with colorectal cancer, his widow Kimberly Van Der Beek, is breaking her silence.
She shared more about how she and her six kids are under some serious financial strain. Friends of the family rushed to organize a GoFundMe campaign to assist in supporting them because the costs linked to the star's extensive medical care and treatment left the family out of funds.
The fundraiser's description notes how Kimberly and the children are trying to stay in their home and maintain some stability.
This includes continuing the kids' education, amid uncertainty about their financial future. The family's situation reflects the heavy expenses tied to long-term illness and care.
This reportedly drained their resources, despite James's career success. The GoFundMe appeal asked supporters to help cover essential living expenses, bills, and schooling for the children. They showed profoundly how the cancer battle impacted all of their household during this time.
