Generous Hailey Bieber's Incredible Support for Eric Dane's Family
Hailey Bieber donated $20,000 to a GoFundMe supporting actor Eric Dane's family, as the fundraiser exceeded its goal and received significant contributions from individuals linked to Dane.
The fundraiser, surpassing $275,000, prompted organizers to raise the target to aid Dane's teenage daughters, Billie and Georgia, in covering expenses such as housing and long-term needs.
Eric Dane's Passing and Illness
Dane's family announced his death on February 19 due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a condition affecting motor neurons. He continued working during his illness progression.
The fundraiser started with a $250,000 goal to provide stability for Dane's daughters, acknowledging his commitment to supporting others with ALS.
High-Profile Contributions and Verification
Besides Bieber's donation, Euphoria creator Sam Levinson and his wife gave $27,000. The fundraiser briefly paused for review but later resumed accepting donations after verification.
The campaign, managed by "Friends of the Dane Family," saw public tributes from Dane's acquaintances, highlighting his impact and struggles with ALS.
Online conversations arose regarding celebrity-related GoFundMe campaigns due to the surge in donations and the temporary suspension, despite organizers clarifying it as standard procedure.
