James Van Der Beek’s widow, Kimberly, and their six children are facing financial hardship following the actor’s death at 48 after a battle with stage 3 colorectal cancer.
A GoFundMe launched by family friends says rising medical costs left the family struggling to maintain their home and cover living and education expenses. James passed away on Feb. 11 surrounded by loved ones.
The fundraiser has raised over $700,000 to help Kimberly and the children rebuild their lives.
