"Friends of Kimberly Van Der Beek, the widow of James Van Der Beek, have launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise $550,000, saying that the actor's two-year battle with Stage 3 colorectal cancer left her and their six children out of funds and struggling to stay in their home. The GoFundMe was launched Wednesday, immediately following news that the Dawson's Creek star had died at age 48 of complications of colorectal cancer."
"In the wake of this loss, Kimberly and the children are facing an uncertain future, the statement continues. The costs of James's medical care and the extended fight against cancer have left the family out of funds. They are working hard to stay in their home and to ensure the children can continue their education and maintain some stability during this incredibly difficult time. The support of friends, family, and the wider community will make a world of difference as they navigate the road ahead."
