What's Happening?
Following Eric Dane's death from ALS, a GoFundMe campaign was launched to support his daughters. 'Euphoria' creator Sam Levinson and his wife Ashley made a significant donation of $27,000, becoming the top contributors. The campaign, initiated by Dane's friends,
aims to raise $250,000 to secure the future of his daughters, Billie and Georgia. Despite a previous divorce filing, Dane's wife Rebecca Gayheart remained by his side following his diagnosis. The campaign has raised over $142,000 so far. Dane, known for his roles in 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Euphoria', left a heartfelt message for his daughters in a Netflix special, emphasizing the importance of living in the present.
Why It's Important?
The substantial donation from Sam Levinson highlights the strong bonds within the entertainment community and the impact of Dane's work and advocacy. This financial support not only aids Dane's family but also brings attention to ALS, a disease that requires more public awareness and funding. The campaign's success could encourage similar support for other families affected by terminal illnesses. Additionally, Dane's message to his daughters serves as a poignant reminder of the personal struggles faced by those with ALS and the importance of cherishing life.
