As James Van Der Beek‘s fans and loved ones mourn the actor’s death at age 48, supporters have come together for his wife Kimberly and family in the aftermath.
Following the launch of a GoFundMe on Wednesday to support his family after James’ colorectal cancer diagnosis caused a financial strain, the crowdfunding campaign has already surpassed its $1.5 million goal in the 24 hours since it went live.
With more than 36,000 donations, Steven Spielberg and wife Kate Capshaw contributed $25,000, Jon M. Chu donated $10,000, and talent agent Kevin Huvane donated $5,000.
