James Van Der Beek’s tragic passing on February 11 has left his family and loved ones devastated. In the wake of his death, his inner circle has come together to support his wife, Kimberly Van Der Beek, and their children by creating a GoFundMe account.
Kimberly shared the link to the GoFundMe account on her Instagram, expressing her gratitude and broken heart for the outpouring of support. The page was created to help the family during this difficult time, as they navigate the emotional and financial challenges following James’s battle with colorectal cancer.
The GoFundMe page pays tribute to James as a beloved husband, father, and friend who touched the lives of everyone around him. It highlights the significant financial strain the family faced during his illness, as they did everything possible to support him and provide for his care.
Now, in the aftermath of James’s passing, Kimberly and the children are facing an uncertain future. The costs of his medical care and the extended fight against cancer have left the family in a difficult financial situation. They are working hard to stay in their home, ensure the children’s education, and maintain stability during this incredibly challenging time.
The goal of the GoFundMe account is set at $350,000, with donations already reaching $158,000 at the time of writing. Every contribution, regardless of size, will make a difference in helping Kimberly and her family find hope and security as they rebuild their lives.
Earlier this year, James Van Der Beek auctioned off his “Dawson’s Creek” memorabilia and “Varsity Blue” jerseys to help with his treatment costs and support other families facing similar struggles. The cast of “Dawson’s Creek” also reunited in September to raise money for the family, showing the love and support they have for one another.
In this difficult time, the support of friends, family, and the wider community is crucial in helping Kimberly and her children navigate the road ahead. Your generosity in contributing to the GoFundMe page will help cover essential living expenses, bills, and support the children’s education. Thank you for considering a gift to support them during this challenging period.
